POPSOpen Source Data Recovery Tools An overview of some software & live discs . See source for a decent overview and review. I'm going to explore various ways you can use open source solutions to recover data, bring dead systems back to life, and save your bacon in general. Many of the solutions described here run cross-platform (Lin/Win/Mac), but some of them are *NIX-only and will be described as such.

POPSGeeXboX-Under 10 MB Linux
What is GeeXboX ? GeeXboX is a free embedded Linux distribution which aims at turning your computer into a so called HTPC (Home Theater PC) or Media Center. Being a standalone LiveCD-based distribution, it's a ready to boot operating system than works on any Pentium-class x86 computer or PowerPC Macintosh, implying no software requirement. You can even use it on a diskless computer, the whole system being loaded in RAM. Hardware Needs 'GeeXboX is an operating system but you still need something to boot on ;-) You're lucky, GeeXboX is based on MPlayer, which can be considered as one of the less cpu-dependent movie players, thanks to the use of FFMpeg for decoding movies. So, here's what can be considered as a typical / minimal config : * x86 Pentium-Class CPU or above (P2-400 should be quite enough) or Macintosh NewWorld G3 (G4 highly recommended) * a VESA 2.0 compliant graphics card (for x86 PC only). * an ALSA compatible sound card. * at least 64 MB of RAM * CD-ROM or DVD-R

POPSTips for Linux Explorers There are more tips for each topic at the site. Linux is free, but it takes more than an installation disc. Some of the things I had to learn from the start, burning iso, partitioning discs, and black screen command operation and command lines. linux can also run along side windows, and/or run off a live boot CD. I'm still green, so all of the tips I find help. This seems like a great site for anyone curious or interested in Linux
