“The latest edition, Chakra 2012.02, code-named Archimedes, was
released on February 12. Since there is very little difference,
other than changes in software and kernel versions, between this
latest release and Edn, the previous release, this article offers a
summary review only. You may read the previous review here.

“Tribe, Chakra?s graphical installation program, received one
minor update in this release. That change pertains to the boot
loader used. In previous releases, Chakra used BURG as the boot
loader. For this release, the switch was made to GRUB 2, the boot
loader that almost all Linux distribution use. So at the boot
loader configuration step in the installation process (see screen
shot below), you will see a reference to GRUB, instead of BURG. For
those new to this, BURG (GRUB spelled backwards) is derived from
GRUB.”
