LILO (Linux Loader) is a bootloader for Linux and was the default boot loader for most Linux distributions. Unlike loadlin, it allowed booting Linux without having DOS on the computer.cite-ref-3[3] As of 2009, most distributions have switched to GRUB as the default boot loader.cite-ref-4[4] Further development of LILO was discontinued in December 2015 along with a request by Joachim Wiedorn for potential developers.cite-ref-5[5]

For EFI-based PC hardware the now orphanedcite-ref-6[6] ELILO boot loader was developed,cite-ref-7[7] 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.cite-ref-8[8]

It supports network booting using TFTP/DHCP.cite-ref-9[9]cite-ref-10[10]
