I have dropped SuSE and FC-2 from active use and am back to a Debian based 
Distro.  I have 4 Distros on this Computer and can reach any one now that I 
have updated the Mepis Grub.  I did use the Suse Grub in the MBR for a long 
time and and had the test distro put its Grub in their root partition rather 
than the MBR.  With this last install, Mepis installed Grub in the MBR but 
didn't add all the other partitions like Ubuntu does. I just found Fedora and 
SuSE to be too different in file positions and names to what I have become 
used to. Mepis 3.3 is not recommended for production use since it is based on 
the Unstable branch of Debian.  I have found all versions to be quite stable 
tho.
