      Yeah! That would work perfectly. For the average user, it would be really great if the field containing the version # were editable. But if you know how to cook these up yourself, well, you can just make them ad hoc. Nice. When you get UEFI and install rEFInd, you'll be ready to go. (As my posting above indicates, I decided, anyway, to go text mode, no icons; partly because seeing 5 identical Ubuntu logos was overwhelming when I have NO Ubuntu's on the machine. There is a Kubuntu logo in the icon file, but it is generic--no version # option.)

        Yes. Linux kernels have contained EFI boot loaders for some time now. The Windows kernel does not; it still relies on a separate EFI boot loader.

          I did a fourth experiment dual booting two Kubuntu versions, GRUB 2 - ESPs - rEFInd, this time using two drives (a HDD and a flash drive).
          Kubuntu 14.04 & 15.04

            meant to use this link, easier to read as a separate post:
