Statisticaly, this means 150-200 people per week will be downloading and running GRUB 2 from http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ to start a Debian installation process on their formerly Windows machines. For a few seconds they will be GRUB 2 users even if they don't know it ;-) Ah, and it's also making its way to official Debian CDs. Expect it to be there for lenny. You can see a video of GRUB 2 in action (in the context of win32-loader use demo) here: http://people.debian.org/~rmh/d-i/win32-loader/autorun/ -- Robert Millan I know my rights; I want my phone call! What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak? (as seen on /.)
