Simple stuff if you are familiar with Grub - it'd worry the
hell out of a newbie dual booting for the first time though.
That 3 second timeout is short enough for them to miss the
message and wonder just where their other OS has gone. Poor
design choice IMHO: by all means default to Ubuntu, but
display the menu with a 5 or 10 second timeout would be my
suggestion.
