    So in college we're nuking all the hard drives and installing new OSs on them all, along with something called "grub loader".... I have no idea what that is

      @purplephish20 Grub (The B stands for bootloader) is a way of loading an operating system so it can be used. They're probably installing Linux on the machines too, and using grub to let you choose which you want at boot time.

        @ceruleanspark yep, that's exactly what I was just doing. Selecting the bootup options in BIOS

      @purplephish20 Grub is something you use to make sauce.
