I don't recall the default GRUB for Lenny, I installed GRUB Legacy in
my Lennys but I don't remember if GRUB Legacy was still the default
option there... You have to check it.

Despite its name, it basically updates the menu entries based on the
information it finds.

Good. And never ever choose an OS based on the number of articles or
the information it is referenced in the web. That's just a crazy

GRUB 2 is now in a good shape and as many people is using nowadays, you
are covered in this regard :-). I also feared the transition from GRUB
legacy to GRUB 2 but I barely have to play with the bootloader and I
have a plain disk configuration layout so I still haven't experiences any
problem with GRUB 2.

Ask whatever you want. I skipped Squeeze (still with Lenny here) but
I'm planning to install Wheezy when is released.

Yup. Remember that you still have to install GRUB2 in both disks to be
able to boot from either of them.

I prefer to stick to the mailing list because everybody else will
benefit for the questions you ask the the replies you get. Anyway, I'm
far to be what it can be call as an "Internet social" person, I don't
have/use blogs, IM, facebook, twitter or something like that :-)
