Sure thing. You're referring to the ';USplash'; package which lets GRUB boot using a splash screen in order to cover up all the techno-gobble Linux normally prints to screen while loading.



You can read more about modifying the USplash settings at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplas



If you're shy about using the command-line to alter USplash (which that link above talks about doing), you can go into Synaptic and search for / install a package called ';Startup Manager'; (aka: SUM). SUM lets you modify GRUB, GRUB2 %26amp; USplash via GUI (graphical user interface) within Ubuntu. Refer to this link for more info ...

If you're wondering why SUM isn't installed in Ubuntu by default, it's because it gives you the ability to change critical values in your system. If you don't know what you're doing, SUM can make it very easy to shoot yourself in the foot. I only recommend messing with USplash, GRUB, SUM, etc if you're a power-user. IE: I don't recommend you install SUM and let your non-technical grandma, parents, et.al. start messing with it. They could do more harm than good.
