Version 9.04 of SystemRescue has been released. SystemRescue is a self-running Linux environment for managing or repairing system and data after a crash. It is intended to easily perform administrative tasks such as creating and editing hard disk partitions. It comes with different programs Such as GParted, fsarchiver, file system tools, editors, Midnight Commander, and network tools. It can be used for both Linux and Windows computers and does not require installation, but it is possible. The kernel supports all major file systems such as ext3/ext4, xfs, btrfs, reiserfs, jfs, vfat, ntfs, and network file systems such as SMB and NFS. The changelog for this version looks like this:
