Boot loader
LILO (Linux Loader) is a boot loader for Linux and was the default boot loader for most Linux distributions in the years after the popularity of loadlin.[when?] As of 2009, most distributions had switched to GRUB as the default boot loader.[3] Further development of LILO was discontinued in December 2015 along with a request by Joachim Wiedorn for potential developers.[4]

For EFI-based PC hardware the now orphaned[5] ELILO boot loader was developed,[6] originally by Hewlett-Packard for IA-64 systems, but later also for standard i386 and amd64 hardware with EFI support.
On any version of Linux running on Intel-based Apple Macintosh hardware, ELILO is one of the available bootloaders.[7][dead link]

This project is orphaned, Debian dropped it in 2014, and RH & SUSE stopped using this tree (and feeding back change) long before that so no longer interested in working on it.
