GRUB stands for GRand Unified Bootloader and is a [[bootloader]] and the reference implementation of the [[Multiboot|Multiboot Specification]]. GRUB can boot any Multiboot-compliant OS (e.g. Hurd, [http://grub.enbug.org/MultibootSystems among others]), however it can also boot some non-Multiboot-compliant OSes, e.g. Windows, via a chain-loading function, and some others via special support, e.g. Linux. mbchk can be used to determine if a file is Multiboot-compliant.

You can also use GRUB's builtin network support to increase your build/test turn around time. You can boot another machine with a kernel directly from your build directory without having to copy it over manually. See also, [http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/General-usage-of-network-support.html#General-usage-of-network-support How to set up your network] in the official GRUB manual.
