      <title><![CDATA[[4478] Professional-looking bootloader]]></title>
      <link>http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/21/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Ubuntu's bootloader is a stark black and white screen, filled with confusing options. It gives newbies a moment of indecision, as they try to figure out if they are supposed to choose something, and wonder why there are three or four Ubuntus listed. Then the timer finishes counting down (starting from 10), and the newb begins to feel like he's getting in over his head as his PC boots into Ubuntu.<br /><br />Too much information up front, stark text-only display, painfully long countdown timer. What would be the alternative? Well, when a Fedora PC is booted up, the first thing the user sees is a graphical splash screen, and "Booting into Fedora (kernel version) in 4 seconds ... " The user can press a key to interrupt and select from kernel versions or alternative operating systems, or just let it boot into Fedora.<br /><br />Can't we create our own attractive bootloader? Or, failing that, copy-and-paste Fedora's?<br />
