I believe "Kanotix",a Knoppix derivative, comes up in Grub and offers a
really fancy menu as a result. I just booted Kanotix last night, by
coincidence. It's rather non-intuitive if you're used to something else,
though. It always takes me a while to figure out how to add my vsync and
screen size to the kernel boot parameters; Knoppix can't figure my
monitor out for some reason and gives me a "warped" screen if I don't
supply those values.
