grub

GNU GRUB 和GRUB是GRand Unified Bootloader的缩写，它是一个多重操作系统启动管理器。用来引导不同系统，如windows，linux。在X86架构的机器中，Linux、BSD 或其它Unix类的操作系统中GRUB、LILO 是大家最为常用，应该说是主流。

grub4dos

GRUB4DOS是一个优秀的双（多）系统引导软件，是 GNU GRUB 的一个分支，使用GRUB4DOS可以很方便的引导各种操作系统，比如DOS、Windows、 Linux等。是一个可以把U盘制作成光盘似的来进行装系统的启动引导工具。

grub2

Grub 2 是新一代的Grub，它实现了一些Grub中所没有的功能

grub24dos

基于grub2Hi, drummerdp here. I recently set up a project on sourceforge called grub24dos. Its works similar to grub4dos, but it lets you boot grub2 instead of legacy grub code. The advantage is that grub2 supports larger drives and GPT partitions. This gets around the old 4 partition MBR limit. I currently have 7 Linux partitions on one GPT disk as well as Mac and Windows partitions.

burg

基于grub2：another project called BURG is also based on GRUB2 and also has some features of grub4dos. Burg is developed/maintained by Bean, who is also a developer/maintainer of grub4dos.
