<![CDATA[Rename Grub Menu Boot Options to be less Confusing]]> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/9028/
It would be more intuitive if the Grub Boot Menu Options were as followed:

Ubuntu 8.04
Ubuntu 8.04 (Fail-Safe)
Ubuntu 8.04 (Memory Test)
Microsoft Windows

This way, all the boot options are available, but the user can almost instantly understand what they are and what they mean.

Where he trapped or attacked by aliens last time when a geek he knows installed him ubuntu (they are scared to install MSN, yahoo messenger or google Talk, so don't tell me about something you need to burn a CD yourself to install) and booted in normal mode? I hope they aren't that dumb to try safe mode just to do everyday tasks.

Also, when I boot my computer, I don't get any grub menu, it just boots Ubuntu, so its not "ultra confusing" (lol).]]> Sat, 24 May 2008 16:21:38 +0000 Comment from JimmyBEng
Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic
Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic (recovery mode)
Ubuntu 8.04, memtest86+

I don't remember doing much tweaking on this file.

I can't see why removing the kernel numbers makes this easier to understand, so -1.]]> Sat, 24 May 2008 16:27:44 +0000 Comment from henk0775
- Ubuntu
- [Any other os]

- Advanced

Where Advanced is another screen where you can read the options like each kernel installed, each recovery modes and whatever you want.

I prefer a timed out screen with ubuntu as default, because I nuked Wondows.]]> Sat, 24 May 2008 16:48:41 +0000 Comment from Jadd Sat, 24 May 2008 18:55:53 +0000 Comment from korvins Sun, 25 May 2008 09:36:23 +0000 Comment from rakudave best way if something whith the kernel update went wrong]]> Mon, 02 Jun 2008 16:11:24 +0000 Comment from jschuurk Ubuntu 8.04
