If you set "GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=Fedora" in "/etc/default/grub", you'll
have "Fedora Linux, with Linux ..." in your grub menu.

If you want to customize the menu more than than, you can either edit
"/etc/grub.d/10_linux" to make it generate the entry that you want or
use grubby to add it.

Using grubby means that that entry'll be wiped out the next time that
you run "grub2-mkconfig ...".

Editing "10_linux" means that if/when that file's upgraded, you'll
have to deal with an ".rpmnew" or an ".rpmsave".
