Yes, you could use SUM (StartUp Manager): HOW TO: GRUB Methods - Toolkit (SUM) but there is better (i think) tool: HOW TO: GRUB Methods - Toolkit (QGRUBEditor)
Direct link to QGRUBEditor
And changing the default operating system: HOW TO: GRUB Methods - Toolkit (HOW To: Change the Default Operating System)Before you edit, BACKUP !
Why there are dead links ?

Re: startup manager
to change the default os at boot:
have a look at /boot/grub/menu.lst
it is a long file, granted, but right near the top you will see an entry that looks like "default 0"
now go to the end of that file and you will see all the os/kernels listed that are available. start counting with 0, so if you want the fifth entry for example, you count 0, 1, 2, 3 ,4 - bingo. now go back up top and change the "default 0" to "default 4"
