GRUB

From openSUSE

GNU GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader) is a multiboot boot loader.

Basic function of any boot loader is to boot (one of) operating system(s) installed on the computer.

GRUB used in SUSE is considered as a GRUB Legacy, and it is no more actively developed, but it will be in use because GRUB2 is still missing some functionality.
