I’ve made a new version (130721) of Exton|Defender based on Fedora 19 64 bit with Mate 1.6.1 as Desktop environment.
Exton|Defender SRS is a Linux system available as a bootable USB stick (Slackware 14.0, 32bit – version 121120) and Live DVD (Fedora 19, 64bit – version 130721) for administrating or repairing your system and data after a crash. Exton|Defender aims to provide an easy way to carry out admin tasks on your computer, such as creating and editing the hard disk partitions. It comes with a lot of Linux software such as system tools and basic tools (editors, Midnight Commander, network tools). Exton|Defender can, however, also be used as a normal Linux Desktop System. It requires no hard drive installation, but can easily be installed to hard drive if you want. Desktop environment: Xfce 4.10 in version 121120 and Mate 1.6.1 in version 130721.
System Tools included
NTFS-3g, GParted 0.14.0, PartImage 0.6.9, Shred 8.19, Sfdisk (util-linux-ng 2.21.2), Rsync 3.0.9, Ddrescue 1.16, FSArchiver 0.6.12, TestDisk 6.13 and Midnight Commander 4.8.4. Other programs (among many others): LibreOffice, NetworkManager, Firefox, Thunderbird, Gimp, Samba, Java (JDK 7u9) and Java Runtime Environment (JRE), Emacs, Safecopy 1.7, kernel headers (Fedora 19) and many compilation tools. See a complete LIST of all installed packages 121120 (Slackware version) and 130721 (Fedora version).
