Re: GRUB vs LILO (little OT)
I really like grub, but currentily I'm using lilo for 1 reason.
I'm in this ongoing debate with my Windows Whore friend of mine about which
OS is better. I was really stumpt when he complained that linux doesn't have
a system tray for A.I.M. and other apps to drop into. I showed him the
Gnome-gaim applet which allows you to pull it off the task list, whcih is
really the same thing, but I think that's the only app that does that. He
wasn't that impressed. I feel that kinda thing is pretty insignificate to
the over proformence of the OS, but htat' not what pulls him in. I suspect
others are the same. So I'm in the habbit of showing off linux bell's and
whistels. Suse's version of linux has the ability to be animated. A
complete wast of time in terms of proformence, but looks really cool. I have
it on a laptop, so it's seen fairily often. I can see the envy they have. I
have a few friends wanting linux just so I can set this up for them. The
Gnome2 GDM is turning heads as well.

The guy will direct you to where suse has the RPM. You can use alien on it
then dpkg -i the new deb.
