Hi-

I first tried GAG a few years ago...it's just plain simple to insert
the GAG boot CD, have it show you all your partitions/filesystems, and
then select which you want to boot into.  You can setup passwords and
other advanced things as well.

Just makes it simple for me given the frequency I install OS's on some
of my boxes.
