LILO (Linux Loader) is a bootloader for Linux and was the default boot loader for most Linux distributions Template:When. Unlike loadlin, it allowed booting Linux without having DOS on the computer.[1] As of 2009, most distributions have switched to GRUB as the default boot loader.[2] Further development of LILO was discontinued in December 2015 along with a request by Joachim Wiedorn for potential developers.[3]

For EFI-based PC hardware the now orphaned[4] ELILO boot loader was developed,[5] 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.[6]

It supports network booting using TFTP/DHCP.[7][8]
