| Hans-G?nter@24065 | 1 GNU GRUB is a Multiboot boot loader. |
| Hans-G?nter@24065 | 2 It was derived from GRUB, the GRand Unified Bootloader, |
| Hans-G?nter@24065 | 3 which was originally designed and implemented by Erich Stefan Boleyn. |
| Hans-G?nter@24065 | 4 |
| Hans-G?nter@24065 | 5 Briefly, a boot loader is the first software program that runs when a computer starts. |
| Hans-G?nter@24065 | 6 It is responsible for loading and transferring control to the operating system |
| Hans-G?nter@24065 | 7 kernel software (such as the Hurd or Linux). |
| Hans-G?nter@24065 | 8 The kernel, in turn, initialises the rest of the operating system (e.g. SliTaz). |

| Hans-G?nter@24065 | 10 GRUB 2 has replaced what was formerly known as GRUB (i.e. version 0.9x), |
| Hans-G?nter@24065 | 11 which has, in turn, become GRUB Legacy. |
| Hans-G?nter@24065 | 12 Enhancements to GRUB are still being made, but the current released versions are |
| Hans-G?nter@24065 | 13 quite usable for normal operation. |
