I've had problems with Ubuntu and Grub2. It seems you can't install |
| 7 |
grub2 anywhere except the MBR, but I think that may be a bug in the |
| 8 |
installer rather than Grub2. |

Things have been going steadily downhill since the days of V7 on a |
| 19 |
PDP-11 with 256K words of RAM, a 20MB hard drive and uucp via dial-up |
| 20 |
modems for "networking". Real programmers didn't _need_ more that 64k |
| 21 |
of text and 64k data to get the job done. And that machine supported |
| 22 |
8 software engineers doing embedded SW development. In the snow. Up |
| 23 |
hill both ways. And we liked it! |
