Mandriva is one of many different distributions of the Linux operating systems. Linux components are developed by volunteer developers. Companies that create Linux distributions package these components in unique ways and create installation routines to make installing Linux more simple. Mandriva has chosen to include a component with installation that makes setting up a computer to dual boot Mandriva and Microsoft Windows XP much easier. The component installed by Mandriva, and many other Linux distributions, is Grand Unified Bootloader, or GRUB.
