I've had problems with Ubuntu and Grub2. It seems you can't install
grub2 anywhere except the MBR, but I think that may be a bug in the
installer rather than Grub2.

Nah, mostly we just like to complain.
Young kids these days with their fancy graphics and bloated
software...
Things have been going steadily downhill since the days of V7 on a
PDP-11 with 256K words of RAM, a 20MB hard drive and uucp via dial-up
modems for "networking". Real programmers didn't _need_ more that 64k
of text and 64k data to get the job done. And that machine supported
8 software engineers doing embedded SW development. In the snow. Up
hill both ways. And we liked it!
