[TriLUG] EasyBCD

[Brian C. Hicks]

After doing some reading, grub is probably best.  EasyBCD basically uses the
new Vista bootloader.  The only real advantage I see to this is that you
would not have to reinstall grub after Vista writes over the MBR.  When my
drives arrive tomorrow I'll be able to play.
 
Thanks,
Brian
 
 
It sounds pretty cool, but why is grub not good enough?
 
Peace,
Andrew
