14 DAY TRIAL // SystemRescueCd creator François Dupoux is also kicking off the new year with a brand-new release of his popular live system developed for system recovery and rescue operations.
SystemRescueCd 4.9.1 is the first point release to the 4.9 series, which was initially announced at the end of October 2016, and it ships with new kernels. While the standard one was updated to the long-term supported Linux 4.4.39 kernel for both rescue32 and rescue64 editions, the alternative kernel is now Linux 4.8.15.
Linux 4.8.15 also happens to be the latest stable kernel release that most GNU/Linux distributions ship with, and SystemRescueCd now uses it too for the altker32 and altker64 versions. Apart from that, SystemRescueCd 4.9.1 includes updated file system tools like btrfs-progs 4.8.5 and xfsprogs 4.8.0.
SystemRescueCd 4.9.1 is available for download right now through our web portal and is a recommended Live CD for those who want to repair a broken operating system. The best part of SystemRescueCd is that it can be used independently of the OS installed on the target computer.
On the download page provided above, you'll find an overview of SystemRescueCd, which we recommend reading if you want to get yourself familiar with this open-source and freely distributed rescue and recovery live system. More details should also be available on the official website of the GNU/Linux distribution.
