Grub versus Boot Manager

[Joe Malin]

Dear Karl,

Thanks for your reply.

Technical writers have to worry about both content and formatting. We 
usually function as writer, editor, indexer, layout editor, and 
production manager, in addition to being part-time engineers, 
interviewers, and mind readers. Our documents *should* be very 
structured and uniform across a set of writers. Lyx may be able to do 
this, but I'd have to investigate further.

This thread shows that not all writing is the same.
