> You also can't dual boot without console access. You can, I have a system triple booting without using the console. Method 1: boot through grub. Create shell scripts that edit grub's menu.lst file. Method 2: use fdisk(8) to change active partition. With or without dual booting, if the least little thing goes wrong you will need the console, and maybe the reset button, and maybe the hard power switch to recover. Even rebooting without changing anything can be dangerous since fsck might decide to be unhappy.
