SystemRescueCd

Description: SystemRescueCd is a Linux system on a bootable CD-ROM for repairing your system and recovering your data after a crash. It aims to provide an easy way to carry out admin tasks on your computer, such as creating and editing the partitions of the hard disk. It contains a lot of system utilities (parted, partimage, fstools, ...) and basic tools (editors, midnight commander, network tools). It is very easy to use: just boot the CDROM. The kernel supports most of the important file systems (ext2/ext3, reiserfs, reiser4, xfs, jfs, vfat, ntfs, iso9660), as well as network filesystems (samba and nfs).

You can find more details about the recent changes made in SystemRescueCd in the news section of this website. Below are the recent news that give you more details about the new features introduced in SystemRescueCd.

BitLocker encryption, which you hope is going to keep your data out of
the hands of folks with prying eyes. And you've also got your Mac OS X
systems all locked down with FileVault, and your Linux systems are
tightly secured with dm-crypt. Do you think your data is safe and
secure? Maybe that's not such a good assumption, and here's why....

Microsoft XP will be going off the market by the end of June 2008. So what will happen to XP then? People are more confused than ever. All it means is that Microsoft will stop selling the OS and hence finding a computer with XP preinstalled will most likely rare. It’s not much of a problem for most users as one can find any Microsoft product (even the ancient MS DOS) simply by searching online.

So does this all mean that one should move on to Vista?? They probably should within a few years especially since new software and peripherals are likely to stop working with XP. Microsoft will stop releasing non-security software updates to the masses by April 2009.

But the company will continue to sell XP till 2010 to makers of ultra-cheap laptops, that can’t run Vista like the Asus Eee PC. It is believed that Microsoft may shut down the product activation of XP by 2014. Even if it does so the hacker community will certainly make dozens of tools to let you use XP.
