## What is rEFInd and ZFSbootMenu?

**rEFInd** is a graphical boot manager replacement used instead of GRUB. GRUB is not ZFS aware.

* Can be themed and customized as well!

**ZFSbootManager** allows you to select which "boot environment" to use, this can be a previous ZFS Snapshot. See [Project Home Page](https://github.com/zbm-dev/zfsbootmenu) for details.

* Can browses, clone and promote ZFS snapshots to new boot environments.
* Snapshots will automatically be taken before each `apt` or `dpkg` update.
