D.S.L-81

This is the best I have ever used out of the less than hundred MiBs.
When I am busy and could not attend to my wife's computer this the one I give her so that she can get her email read.
She does not know how to save any documents with it.
Who the hell who worry about saving your files at home for use.
Google is now providing mobile space for saving and cloud computing is on the horizon for everybody and USB sticks to go around.

In any case netbooting hardware is the need of the hour.

Linux is there to take the challenge.

R.I.P. Linux--83 (Rest In Peace for Windows)-Update

This is the CD I use when I have accidentally erased everything in my hard disk which I did recently to partition my hard disk.
I really love this because it reminds me of letting windows Rest In Peace a long time ago.

But it is for recovery of your files and photos.

It says Recovery Is Possible and recently, when I visited a computer hacker (he rips off old laptops and sells the usable remnants for the price of a new one (good money if I stated doing that) to get a CD/DVD for my son's old Hitachi Laptop.

Unfortunately my son as well as I forgot all the passwords and could not boot it.

Not rooted or booted for one year.

I found a Combo that juts out of the front panel but I got the old Hitachi working again and I am going to use it for testing Linux distributions until the Combo packs up or I pull it out and use netbooting utility to rip the BIOS and booting sequence.

CDLinux-80

This is good for Windows guys and girls.
They can mount this on a windows partition not on a DOS partition.
I was annoyed that they did not let me install it on a Linux partition.
Fast, cute and good.

Trinity Rescue Kit-79

This is a utility Windows guys can use to clean up their box / boxes (if they are stupid enough to have more than one).
What I used to do manually this Linux utility does in series of scripts booted onto the RAM. No knowledge of Linux is required only trigger happy (for Sri-Lankans) or mouse click happy (outside of Sri-Lanka) window's stupid guys and girls.

Debris-78

Is another little utility with many applications.

Deft--77

I have been very busy, if not I may have finished the last phase (last 25 of the 100) my entries by now. I have already downloaded over 200 CD and DVDs in spite of the very slow throughput of our Telecom.
Guys / Girls of the Sri-Lankan doing a very good job with very limited resources they have.
Hats off for them for they are heading and giving a welcome hearing to my constructive comments.
Peo TV is very good venture and giving out a router which is above the Operating System in I.P. / T.P. protocol (Year ago the Modem did not support Linux) so that user can decide which operating system to use.

However, they are far behind in Telecom's innovations such as AsteristNow and the PABX. As far as Linux they are nowhere near international standards.

Coming back to Deft. it is a forensic distribution I fished out of Distromania archives. Apart form general utilities it has number of forensic utlitlis.
