Ditto the others. Lilo and Grub are the most common boot loaders in the Linux realm. Most good distros will set up your partitions for you and install a boot loader. Some of them even give you the choice of boot loader programs during the install process.

Mandrake comes with both lilo and grub. You can choose which to use during the install.
