	The '''GRUB''' is used to manage and boot up linux operating systems on computers that use the BIOS system. These are typically older computers or those that did not come with Windows 8 pre-installed.

Computers sold prior to the release and pre-installation of Windows 8 - which introduced '''UEFI''' - will therefore use the ~~GRUB~~.
