Here is a short list that describes what you will find on this CDRom:
- A recent linux kernel, that supports most important file systems, and
the most important hardware. Supported file systems: Ext2/Ext3, ReiserFs,
Fat16/Fat32, XFS, JFS, NTFS (read-only), ... The kernel supports NFS and Samba.
- Graphical partition tools, that aim to be free partitionmagic clones for Linux.
You can use QtParted and PartGui.
- Most important console system tools for Linux. Of course, you have
GNU Parted (partition editor), Partimage (drive image clone) for backing up partitions to
an image file, File system tools (e2fsprogs for ext2/ext3, Reiserfsprogs for ReiserFS,
xfsprogs for XFS, jfsutils for JFS, dosfstools for FAT, NtfsProgs for NTFS).
You can use dump/restore for backing up an ext2/ext3 partition.
- Clam-AntiVirus. This is a free AntiVirus software.
- Usual tools for Linux users: tar/gzip/bzip2 for archiving files. The same tools for
Windows users: zip/unzip, rar/unrar are provided. This means that you are able to backup/restore
your windows data. We have added DAR (Disk Archiver). This is a program like tar, but
more powerful.
- Midnight-Commander (type "mc" on the console command line) is a free nortoncommander
clone for linux.
With mc, it's easy to browse, copy, move, edit all files on your computer. If you don't
know all the linux shell commands well, you can start with mc.
- You can use lynx or links. Both are lightweight web browsers. Under FrameBuffer mode,
you can pass parameters to the commande line of the links program. It will allow you
to enable the graphical mode. It would show images, and you gets a nice interface.
- Of course, editors are important when you have problems. Nano (easy editor) and
vim (vi improved) are provided for the text mode. A very basic graphical editor is
available for newbies. You can run this editor with "run_qtinyeditor". It runs with
Qt-embedded.
