There are.many good docs on the web about it. Yes much of this is just resistance to change. |

a few weeks ago I was one of those people about to stay away from GRUB 2 |
| 28 |
as long as possible. What I didn't know is that part of what I knew and |
| 29 |
disliked about GRUB 2 was (only) specific to Debian, the fact that you |
| 30 |
no longer edit /etc/grub/grub.cfg directly: you edit parts that are |
| 31 |
combined for you. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Short version: if it's fear of the unknown with you too, I recommend |
| 34 |
getting to know that beast a little better. You'll either end up with |
| 35 |
many good arguments against it or find out that it's better than you |
| 36 |
expected in the beginning. My guess is the latter. Anyway. Give it a try. |
