Do we *need* to know what is the distro ?
Can't we just say that: we found others OS here and there do you want to 
add them to the boot loader ?

If I understand that someone that install a linux beside its windows 
might have no idea how Linux works (I was the first time I did it) and 
guess someone that install several linux next to each other would have 
some knowledge about what he is doing.
