When you already have another OS installed on your system, installing Ubuntu makes a non-comfortable Grub menu list :
| Ubuntu 8.10 kernel 2.6.27...
| Ubuntu 8.10 kernel 2.6.27... (recovery mode)
| Ubuntu 8.10 memtest86+
| Other operating systems:
| Windows...
And if you ran kernel-updates, you may end with a big and messy menu.
I think this should be nice and sharp like this :
| Ubuntu Intrepid
| Windows
|
| Ubuntu 8.10 kernel 2.6.4246...
| Ubuntu 8.10 kernel 2.6.28.rc37...
| Ubuntu 8.10 kernel 2.6.27...
| Ubuntu 8.10 kernel 2.6.27... (recovery mode)
| Ubuntu 8.10 memtest86+
Ubuntu Intrepid would be an entry to /boot/vmlinuz
/boot/vmlinuz would be a link to the latest kernel available.
a. I know it is possible to tweak the menu.lst file but, we should not have to do it
b. I feel like the number and importance of the entries in this menu, coming from the Ubuntu installation, are somehow disrespectful of the other OSes
c. I believe the purpose of a multi-boot menu is to enable access to all the OS, in a clean and efficient way
