If GRUB is like LILO, it is hardly easy.  At least not for your
average Joe user.  It'll be fine for techie's, but not for
others.  I would personally prefer a menu based system bundled
with OD.  LILO is boring and leaves much chance for bungling in
inexperienced hands.  Heck it is even easy to mess up if you've
used it for years!
