Whenever a kernel update is installed, your system adds an entry into GRUB. And while booting you can see a very long list, depending on how many updates you have installed. Here is a simple way to clean the GRUB. Open Synaptics package manager. Remove "linux-image-2.6.xxxx" and "linux-headers-2.6.xxxx" corresponding to old kernel images. Update the grub using: "update-grub" If you wish to set a background image for your GRUB, then goto "/etc/grub.d/" and open the theme file(debian_theme) and set "use_bg=false" to "true". Change the WALLPAPER, to point to the desired image(Better use .png file). To apply the changes to the grub: "update-grub"

One of biggest complaints about Windows 8 is that it boots straight to the Start screen—an annoyance for many committed desktop users. To boot into the Desktop directly, just follow this simple procedure. Go to the start screen and type in schedule to search for Schedule tasks in Settings. Click on Task Scheduler Library to the left, and select Create Task . Name your task something like "Boot to desktop." Now select the Triggers tab, choose New, and use the drop-down box to select starting the task "At log on." Click OK and go to the Actions tab, choose New, and enter "explorer" for the Program/Script value. Press OK , save the task, and restart to test it out!

Getting Started Things you need: - Lion USB prepared with UniBeast (see tonymacx86.com) - Win7 install media (preferably USB stick with Win7 SP1) - Win8 install media (USB stick) - Ubuntu 12.04LTS (USB stick) (see ubuntu.com) - A blank HDD or SSD ready as install target Section A (plan your partition scheme) When setting up a multi-boot system involving Windows it is important to realize you will need to create what is known as a hybrid MBR/GPT partition scheme.  It is necessary to place all partitions intended to be accessed by Windows such that they are in sync’d MBR table.  This means they should be placed first.  For this guide, I will be setting up the following partitions on a 320GB hard drive: EFI: 200MB, created by Mac OS X Disk Utility when partitioning Win7: ~60GB, NTFS Win8: ~60GB, NTFS Transfer: ~60GB, exFAT (could use FAT32 as well) Lion:~60GB, Mac OS X Extended (journaled) Linux-Swap: 8GB (my computer has 8GB memory) Linux: a bit less than...
