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