Unlike the legacy DLP appliances, the model 4400 hardware platform runs the McAfee Linux Operating
System (MLOS). It contains a boot loader package that allows users to switch between installations.
McAfee DLP uses Gnu GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader) to install the primary and secondary images
on the model 4400 appliances.
