I dual boot my machine (Vista + Ubuntu). Unfortunately I am using Vista mainly at the moment because of a project I am working on. I was working remotely today when I had to restart my machine. The second i clicked i restart I remembered it would, by default, boot into Ubuntu and I had no remote access to it setup. Nothing I could do till I got home :(.

So I thought i better change the default for now. I could go and manually edit the boot menu file but surely Ubuntu has some nice GUI editor installed? I couldn't find one by default (didn't look that hard tbh-please correct me if there is one) so did a quick apt-cache search grub and right at the end of the list was startupmanager . After install (sudo apt-get install startupmanager) a nice menu item automagically appeared in System->Administration and I was ready to go!
