GRUB users, cast your vote!
Which version of GRUB (for those of you that use it) are you running these days?
I've been running GRUB2 for almost 2 years and it's been working pretty well for the most part, but I've been wondering... is it catching on with the masses, or are most GRUB users still running the Legacy version?
Thanks for voting!

I guess when it moves into portage I'll install it. I've been using Legacy since the days of Lilo.

Using Grub 2 but only because it's the Ubuntu 9.10 default

My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.

I stick with Grub Legacy as I have LOTS of practise editing /boot/grub/menu.lst multibooting (distro slut). Haven't got into ext4 file system either. Still Learning.
