using 2.6 kernel (mm-sources), it's very nice. :)

as for bootloaders, i use lilo for the same reason that you apparently use grub - it works, it's what you're familiar with, and there really isn't a need for anything else. the only hitch i've ever run into with lilo is that it didn't recognize USB devices (like keyboards... eek!). this may or may not have changed, but it's one thing to look out for. aside from that, though, it works fine for me. the choice (and that's what it's really about, isn't it?) is entirely up to you.

peace
