Weird I can deal with. It's the "order of magnitude more complicated" that gets annoying. Granted, in the case of Grub2, most of that is due to the fact that I encounter in mainly on Ubuntu systems. I don't know how they manage it, but every time the Ubunutu folks have a decision to make, they pick a direction exactly opposite that which I would choose. Still, I have to give them credit for still making a usable single-CD system when everybody else requires 4 CDs or a DVD. >> But if someone else snuck into your house and flipped your locks >> every week? >> >> This one change won't be catastrophic, but I will probably spend a >> good eight hours researching, testing, implementing, and documenting >> it.
