just to profess my ignorance, i'm not even sure what version i've currently got installed. ok... "1.99", but what's this "version 2"?

Grub 2 (version 1.99, on your system) is a rewrite of grub, and the old one has been thus named Grub 1. The latest version number of grub 1 is 0.97.

Off topic, but... I think that versioning explanation exactly illustrates why the version scheme adopted by Chrome (and an a good amount of other software) makes so much more sense. :)

This is the first time I see the name "GRUB 1". On the other hand, searching for "GRUB legacy" (the official name) returns millions of hits.

I want to add my ignorance, I am using that version for 5 years, and so it is stable, what does it means exactly stable?
In announce I see new features not bugfix (I think there are of course).
And so Grub start new scheme .. 2.00, it is a price? 2 dollars? I suppose the first bug fix would be 2.01 ..
To me it looks as the first software to have this numbering. Anyone note this?
