My own experience with Grub has been less than "neat".

But maybe that is because the times I have experienced Grub, my machine has been broken and I have been desperate to fix it. As far as I can tell, Grub has no help built in. You have to be an expert to use it.

What does "e" plus tab key twice do?

Is there some way I could try this on a system which boots successfully to find out about this?
