[Techtalk] cross-platform, cross-browser testing

GRUB!  It's actually a nice little command shell, if you get to where you want 
to pass commands during bootup. It's OS-independent, and has a loverly plain 
text config file. No more messing with MBRs or stalling at the dreaded LI. 

LILO also does the job just fine, I like GRUB better.
