Can someone make it a bit simpler... I didn't follow much... I am ready to install the 2 OSs just tell me what to do with the GRUB in simple words... how do I know where the kernel is and what is it's name? and how do i access the kernel of CentOS from Debian... Sorry if my questions sound dumb; I am learing Linux.
