I switched to Gummiboot a while ago, after Canek mentioned it I think, |
| 8 |
and I am glad I did. I still keep GRUB around because Gummiboot cannot |

boot from an ISO image so Grub stays for my sysresccd emergency boot |
| 10 |
option. |

It's not only for multi-booting. AFAIR you need to build the kernel |
| 17 |
arguments into the kernel when booting like this, which means you have |
| 18 |
only one option for each kernel. I prefer to have a No X option as well |
| 19 |
as a desktop boot. |

Gummiboot just makes things easy without getting in the way. |
