I read an interesting response to something I said about grub2 in another place - in other words I got 'raked over the coals' :-) - which said that Ubuntu follows upstream convention and does NOT use the term grub2 but uses grub.
I therefore can assume that this use of grub2 is in openSUSE only?
Mageia and Mandriva do as openSUSE. There could be other distros doing the same.

Thanks for this, Felix. So, Ubuntu may be the one which is "out of step", so to speak, just in other ways: for example, I learnt that it does not activate a firewall as a default but requires one to manually and delibarately activate and configure it.
