On the DVD

64-bit

SystemRescue is one of the premier Live recovery tools for both desktop and server systems on Linux and Windows. Booted from a DVD or flash drive, SystemRescue contains a comprehensive set of tools ranging from standard editors and file managers to disk partitioners and other basic system utilities, including ddrescue, MemTest, and Rsync. SystemRescue supports common filesystems such as ext4, XFS, Btrfs, VFAT, NTFS, Samba, and NFS.

For a complete list of packages, see https://www.system-rescue.org/Detailed-packages-list/. All these applications are supported by extensive documentation, including a Quick Start Guide, along with pages for some of the more complex applications. Having a copy of SystemRescue close at hand and knowing how to use it can make recovery from a system crash much less painful.

    Linux Mint is a wildly popular Ubuntu-based desktop Linux with an emphasis on simplicity. Along with a strong assortment of open source applications and utilities, Mint takes pains to provide proprietary drivers and other helper tools for seamless-as-possible operations. The Mint 14 release features a new Windows Quick-list app for managing windows across multiple workspaces, as well as Alt+Tab window-switcher virtualization and a handy notification tool. Also debuting with this release is the new Nemo file browser, a fork of Gnome’s Nautilus file manager based on the Nautilus 3.4 codebase.
