Whenever I boot my notebook computer, after installing 10.2, I

The screen is programmed to be randomly shown.

I dont think so. I've seen nothing but those since I installed my
machine (Maybe its because i did the install on december 24th?)

During the Christmas holidays it will happen every time I think.

After new year you will likely not see it anymore.

And who cares about the GRUB splashscreen? It is shown for 1 second before
I hit return when booting my machine once a day.

Ciao, Marcus

Indeed Marcus!

However, booting once a day?
I assume these are kernel development machines?
Only that would justify booting that often! ;-)

My own server (mail, updates, repo, web etc) has an uptime nearly 900
days. And that was only because of a ciy wide black-out.

Only justification of watching the grub splash, is when using
notebooks...
