14 DAY TRIAL // Today, September 22, 2016, SystemRescueCd developer François Dupoux proudly announced the availability of an updated version of his Linux-based system recovery Live CD.
SystemRescueCd 4.8.2 is now the latest stable and most advanced version, bringing new kernel versions, namely Linux kernel 4.1.33 LTS (for both rescue32 and rescue64 variants) and Linux kernel 4.4.21 LTS (for the altker32 and altker64 versions).
While Linux kernel 4.1.33 LTS is used by default, as the standard kernel, users can switch to use the alternative Linux 4.4.21 LTS kernel anytime if they believe it offers better support for their hardware.
The new SystemRescueCd version also ships with three new tools, the first one being Ncdu, an open-source disk usage analyzer utility that features a Ncurses interface and has been designed from the offset to be used for finding space hogs on remote servers.
The second tool is BorgBackup, an open-source deduplicating backup program that supports authenticated encryption and compression, and the third one is renameutils, the renowned file renaming utility designed to make renaming of files faster.
Last but not least, SystemRescueCd 4.8.2 comes with up-to-date core components, including btrfs-progs 4.7.2 ported from the Linux 4.7.2 kernel to help you manage your Btrfs partitions much better, and linux-firmware 20160628.
You can download SystemRescueCd 4.8.2 right now via our website, where it is distributed for free as a Live CD ISO image that can be written on either a USB flash drive or CD disc and booted on any 64- or 32-bit computer.
