And this guy is dangerous. His cavalier dispensing of information appears to have little to no real-world experience behind it.

(Yes, I know I just described 82.7% of teh Intarwebs...)

82.7%? I think you might be being a little too generous. :P

Just in case anyone follows TFA's instructions and hoses their pc, I found a good article on the Ubuntu wiki recently explaining how to setup grub2 properly:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2

and some documentation on making themes and so on:

So what's wrong with the instructions in the article?

@tc:

I won't fault him for his Ubuntu-specific instructions, because he does explain why he focuses on Ubuntu. But check the comments. He assumes way too much about the capabilities of an unbootable system, and that's a very real possibility when messing around with the bootloader configuration.
