This page describes rEFInd, my fork of the rEFIt boot manager for computers based on the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) and Unified EFI (UEFI). Like rEFIt, rEFInd is a boot manager, meaning that it presents a menu of options to the user when the computer first starts up, as shown below. rEFInd is not a boot loader, which is a program that loads an OS kernel and hands off control to it. (Since version 3.3.0, the Linux kernel has included a built-in boot loader, though, so this distinction is rather artificial these days, at least for Linux.) Many popular boot managers, such as the Grand Unified Bootloader (GRUB), are also boot loaders, which can blur the distinction in many users' minds. All EFI-capable OSes include boot loaders, so this limitation isn't a problem. If you're using Linux, you should be aware that several EFI boot loaders are available, so choosing between them can be a challenge. In fact, the Linux kernel can function as an EFI boot loader for itself, which gives rEFInd characteristics similar to a boot loader for Linux. See my Web page on this topic for more information.

The Turkey Mod is a community-made total conversion modification for the PC version of GTA San Andreas. Instead of playing as CJ in a fictionalized version of California, the mod overlays a massive wave of Turkish pop culture, local humor, real-world brands, and political satire onto the game engine.
The brilliance of the Turkey Mod lies in its attention to localized detail. The creators did not just swap a few textures; they fundamentally altered the atmosphere of the game. 1. Iconic Turkish Vehicles
