GNU Grub 1.99 Released

GNU Grub 1.99 has been released and includes a long list of enhancements over its preceding version. I’ve been using its beta and release candidate versions for the past two years to boot my GNU/Linux systems directly with /boot on LVM and MD RAID, and it’s been flawless at doing that. GRUB is of course a requisite part of the boot process for anyone using 64bit systems, as the old LILO bootloader is 32bit only. As such, it’s nice to have an officially released loader that steps into the modern age and supports more than just DOS partitions.
