    I concur. I used the Sarge Debian installer for the first time last night
    on a machine at home. I was amazed at how easy it was to set up a mixed
    system. In the past, rather than fool around with complicated boot loaders,
    I would install multiple systems on different disks and switch the boot
    order in the bios. However, the debian installer made it so easy to install
    Debian on to an unused partition and install GRUB in the MBR (after it found
    all of the other bootable images). I was quite pleased and amazed. I can
    even boot into images on the system that were not in the previous boot
    loader.

    I second that. Joey Hess and his team are on the ball. It is a
    fantastic
    product that they are coming up with.
