GRUB

GRUB is an acronym for "GRand Unified Boot-loader" and is currently one of the most sophisticated boot loaders/boot manager around. While normal boot loaders keep a table of blocks on the hard disk, GRUB can browse the file system. At the moment, it supports these filesystems:

• Ext2fs
• BSD UFS
• ReiserFS
• SGI's XFS
• VFAT

Apart from support for many different file systems, it has many other features. You can find a description of these at www.gnu.org/software/grub (http://www.gnu.org/software/grub).
