grub-gfxboot
I used to have the nice Suse graphical grub menu "grub-gfxboot" installed but, with Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex the stage1 files do not read correctly. I had to chroot into the Intrepid system and then remove grub-gfxboot and do a grub-install. Not fun. I’m sure this will get fixed after Intrepid is fully released.
On the Intrepid hard disk I have Enlightenment (e16) as the window manager instead of Metacity. I’m learning how to make a theme for Enlightenment. More fun than compiz, IMO.
