Yes, it is.
On another point -- yes, this boot code could be wiped out if Windows rewrites the MBR. I haven't had that happen yet. However, it is far easier to restore this boot code than it is to reinstall grub. So I prefer this to putting grub in the MBR.
Indeed. I did it yesterday night, and yes, it can boot both Linux or Windows. We'll have to wait some months to see if there are problems with updates or not. Only a SP would prove it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
