9.3 has a long-click reboot that lets you choose what grub boots.
"Long click?" What do you mean by that?
When you log out, instead of clicking on reboot, click and hold on the little down arrow at the right of the button. This will cause a drop down menu to appear, where you can select the OS to boot into.
Right. Click-and-hold. I should have thought of that. It's probably worth pointing out to any newbies (and the forgetful) who might be paying attention that when you see a GUI signal like this (the small inverted triangle that appears, in this case, on the "Restart Computer" button) is an indication that clicking and holding will display a pop-up menu of alternatives to the default action that will occur if you simply click that button. The forward and back buttons in Mozilla / Firefox and other browsers are other examples of this kind of GUI device. Randall Schulz
