Exton|Defender SRS For Linux

Exton|Defender SRS (Super Rescue System) is an open source project that provides users with a collection of computer operating systems based on the Linux kernel and designed from the ground up to be used for system rescue and system recovery tasks.

Each Exton|Defender SRS flavor is based on a well known Linux operating system, such as Fedora and Mageia, both of which are derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Mandriva respectively.

While the Fedora edition is supported only on 64-bit computer platforms, the Mageia flavor boots on 32-bit and 64-bit PCs, but includes software packages optimized only for 32-bit CPU architectures.

Both Exton|Defender SRS editions are available for download as hybrid Live DVD ISO images that can be deployed to either USB flash drives of 2GB or higher capacity, or blank/RW DVD discs.

As mentioned, each Exton|Defender SRS edition comes with a different desktop environment. The Fedora edition comes with the Cinnamon desktop environment, and the Mageia flavor uses LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment).

Among the pre-installed system rescue utilities, we can mention GParted, TestDisk, Sfdisk, GNU ddrescue, PartImage, FSArchiver, Shred, Safecopy, NTFS-3G, rsync, and Midnight Commander.

Default applications include the LibreOffice office suite, Mozilla Firefox web browser, Mozilla Thunderbird email and news client, GIMP image editor, Emacs advanced editor. The Google Chrome web browser is also included for watching Netflix movies.

The NetworkManager, Samba, JDK (Java Development Kit), JRE (Java Runtime Environment) technologies, as well as a plethora of power tools for all of your compilation needs are also included in Exton|Defender SRS.

Exton|Defender SRS provides for a decent set of GNU/Linux distributions that can be used to repair broken systems, as well as to rescue data from damaged drives and do all sorts of administration tasks in style, no matter the operating system installed on the respective computer.
