Rescatux is a GNU/Linux repair cd (and eventually also Windows) but it is not like other rescue disks. Rescatux comes with Rescapp. Rescapp is a nice wizard that will guide you through your rescue and repair tasks.

When the wizard is not able to solve your problem you can also enjoy of Rescatux unique support features:

* Chat: Open the chat for asking help directly in Rescatux channel.
* Share log: After running an option you can share its log (the action registry that it has done) so that in the chat they can help you better. O better, even, you can help debug and fix Rescatux bugs on the fly.
* Share log on forum: Prepares a forum post alike text so that you can just copy and paste it in your favourite forum. Logs are nicely inserted into it with [CODE] symbols.
* Boot Info Script: Run Boot Info Script option to share your computer configuration (specially boot one).

User Reviews

  • thank you, with password reset you save me few hours of installation, usually you can put a little more than 700 MB on standard cd, enough for this distribution
  • My lap brokes because the hardisk messed up. Thanks to rescatux, i finally can repair the corrupted archives and makes my laptop more fast than ever. Nice job ;)
  • The ISO is now too big to fit on a CD, which makes it useless to me.
  • Never completes booting on new Eniac-built system. Have drives in from older AM2 Phenom system on new Ryzen 9 5900X system, but can't sort the grub out. Hoped for some help.
  • Fantastic Gnu/Linux distribution!!!
