Yep. You'll also notice the first words you see in the Red Hat
installation experience aren't "GNU GRUB version 0.95". Imagine you
don't know what GRUB is... "Aren't I running Solaris Express build 66?"
"This software isn't even to version 1.0 yet?" Etc. Details
matter--and, to James' point, this is fairly low hanging fruit at that.
