I picked the one with the GNU on purpose. There are lots of images with
just Tux. After all, we have more GNU software on our system than the
Linux Kernel. The picture I chose was to acknowledge the major
contributions from GNU.

I'm pretty sure the whole if statement can be removed. terminal is not
a GRUB2 command at all. It is a structure I got from googling.
I've been talking to the developers and may take on the task of
rewriting grub.info. There is a major lack of documentation of GRUB. The
current grub.info is a mix of GRUB2 and obsolete GRUB1 info. Most is
debian specific with no mention how to edit grub.cfg directly. Debian
and other distros want to do the configuration indirectly with shell
scripts.
