Install BURG in ubuntu

BURG, Brand-new Universal loadeR from GRUB, is an alternative boot loader forked from GRUB.

          If you run multiple OSs on your machine, GRUB is probably the first screen you will look at when you turn ON your system. GRUB stands for GRand Unified Boot loader, and is a part of the GNU project. It is the default boot loader that comes with all UNIX-like OSs.

So why switch to BURG? 

          Quite simply, because GRUB is now plain boring. Over the years, the user interface in our desktop environments has improved a lot. It has become more user-friendly and highly customisable. But sadly, GRUB has remained pretty much the same. It still offers the bash-like, command line interface of old!
BURG is a cool replacement to GRUB.
