14 DAY TRIAL // 4MRescueKit is a relatively new Linux operating systems Linux distro that is comprised of various tools that can help users make changes from outside of another OS. A new update has been released for 4MRescueKit.
As the name implies, 4MRescueKit is based on the 4MLinux distro, and it incorporates slimmed down OSes that have been built with a single purpose in mind, to help users gain control over their systems.
"4MRescueKit provides its users with software for antivirus protection, data backup, disk partitioning, and data recovery. It is distributed in the form of a multiboot CD, which includes four (extremely small) operating systems. This release has Antivirus Live CD 12.0-0.96.8, BakAndImgCD 12.0, 4MParted 12.0, and 4MRecover 12.0," reads the announcement.
Users will notice that the image won't boot to an interface. Instead, users will have to choose for themselves what they want to start with. If you want to test it, you can download 4MRescueKit 12.0 Beta right now from Softpedia. If you do find problems or any other issues, make sure you tell the developer about it.
It's also worth pointing out that this is actually a Beta release and for good reason. The developer is still managing some of the issues, and he doesn't want to offer a stable version just yet. Also, this is an authoritative collection of tools and you can do some real damage with them if you're not careful.
Please make sure that you know what you are doing before using this 4MRescueKit. For example, 4MParted can be easily used to mess with the partitions, and even with the friendly interface, you can still end up doing more harm than good. Antivirus Live CD is not all that distributive, but it can delete some important files if you're not careful. The last one on the list, 4MRecover, can be used to recover old deleted files, so it doesn't require too much expertise.
