I've had my own success stories to tell, too -- here at home I installed
GRUB over LILO and have been using it happily ever since, no problems
whatsoever. My bad experience with GRUB happened a few days ago, at
work, right after I talked a colleague of mine into upgrading his RH8
box to Fedora. We both were kinda disappointed to see it didn't work --
specially when we know that LILO worked just fine on the same box.
Anyway, sh* happens sometimes. I am pretty sure GRUB will improve, it's
just a matter of time.
Best,
Andre
