Indeed. This is *the* standard well known solution to this problem
(well, obviously not that well know it seems ;) )

I am sure there is tons of stuff that you don't know and shame on
those who make fun about that fact.

I would humbly suggest that the smiley face added by Chris was meant
to imply humor and that given the number of times the recommendation
to move the /boot partition has been suggested in numerous threads in
the last few days, he was being just more than just a little facetious.
;-)
I don't think he was being funny. I have been around a long time
and missed the point about moving /boot to the front of a disk. I have
heard a thousand words a week about LVM and it never made the point
that it moved /boot close to the near end of a hard drive. I HATE LVM.
I'm not a particular fan of it for individual users or lap tops myself,
but it has its place in the right environment.
For each task, the proper tool.
