It is gentoo-based, fits very nicely on a mini-cd (I carry one around all the time) and you can "roll your own". Good documentation, great features. And no X.
Quote from their website:
SystemRescueCd is a linux system on a bootable cdrom for repairing your system and your data after a crash. It also aims to provide an easy way to carry out admin tasks on your computer, such as creating and editing the partitions of the hard disk. It contains a lot of system utilities (parted, partimage, fstools,...) and basic ones (editors, midnight commander, network tools).
Actualy it's a double hit for M$. Not just they bought one of the best antivirus technologies of the moment, but they also eliminated one of the few decent Linux antiviruses (IMHO). I still believe that 1) the RAV guys should not have sold their product together with every right they had to write antivirus software ever and 2) they sold too cheap.
But it's a free market.
No shit dude. I'm amazed you noticed. To get closer to the topic: I used to own a Sinclair ZX Spectrum+ 128K. A real joy it was, until it went up in smoke:|.
Ummm.... I forgot.... something working very slowly while copying and copying at very low speeds is the classic syndrome of your IDE devices not having the DMA enabled. Has nothing to do with your processor. Try
Getting so burned out after a 10 hours a day job (programming, debugging, outsourcing) that you just had to quit after an year. Living on the money you managed to save during that year. Not even looking for a job because you need to take care of more important stuff (like summer exams -- which of course get half-blown because you were simply too tired to learn after coming home from work). Looking in horror at your pokets when you discover you just spend your last money you saved on food and don't have anything to eat tomorrow. Starting to look for a job after the summer exams only to realise there are none because all of the at least decent ones were taken and the summer jobs don't pay off enough to cover one lousy meal a day. No support from parents because they simply can't afford to support you. Spending another month looking for the coins you probably tossed on the shelves (me don't carry metals around, me afraid of lightning:D ) so that you can buy bread to fill your stomach, while working on some weird freelance projects AND doing a hell of a good job about it. Then working for a boss of a ghost software firm you have to chase each month in order to get your salary although it's your hard earned right (but finally, some real money, for a change...).
Ah, the wonders of being a student... in our beloved country Romania. One can only hope things can't get worse than this. But indeed there is but one thing to do while being unemployed: keep yourself busy all the time, learn, get better at whatever you're good at. It has two benefits: you improve your skills and you forget when was the last time you ate.
Acrux, Alcor, Zeta Ursa Major, Alcyone, Alya (double star), Antares, Izar, Menkent, Polaris, Pollux, Prima and Secunda Giedi, Sadr, Vega. More than 10:D.
But I think you are right. The level of general education decreases over time. People read less (I know people that don't remember when was the last time they opened a non-techhie book). They use odd source of information and believe all the crap that's fed into their brains through the tv sceen or (some) websites (see the hoax: "Conspiracy Theory: Did we actually land on the moon ?" -- I don't remember the address, but a google search wil reveal it).
And I don't play Quake. I play Orbiter Space Flight Simulator. It's the sort of serious fun that makes you learn some physics and remember some of the math you've forgotten, let alone the joy of flying the Discovery to Jupiter (you know, 2001 - A Space Odyssey) or of a "short" trip to Mars, just to celebrate the occasion (less fuel burn:D).
Off topic ? It was about SECURITY. It was about the fact that you are more likely get cracked while running Windows than Linux. And it was at 5 o'clock in the morning.
Is it a plane ? Is it a bird ? NOOOOOOO !!!! It's a trojan !! Do you guys read www.theregister.co.uk ? (No I'm from Romania). How often do you read about problems in Linux ? How FAST are they fixed ? RedHat posts updates almost daily and most of them are security fixes. But Micro$oft.... NOOOOO.... their products are perfect. No flaws at all. None. Whatsoever. I wonder why do people call Outlook the best Virus Transport Protocol ever designed.
BTW: Windows (aka dos) didn't get as bad as it is overnight -- it took over ten years of careful development. [for you MCSE/MCSD/MCHAMMER dude, this is a fortune cookie -- yeah, from the dreaded OS Linux).

Why don't you try System Rescue CD ?

After I've RTFA it's obvious, the original poster is probably a lawyer. The meaning is the complete oposite of his words.
Same opinion here. Yet the rest of the people seem to rejoyce. Are _we_ the lunatics ? Hm....

/dev/hda
/dev/hda
hdparm
and
hdparm -i
to see if this is the problem.
I know it's off-topic, nevertheless.... /dev/hda
/dev/hda
/dev/hda
:)
Suggestion:
hdparm -d1
You may also try
hdparm -d1 -u1 -m16
and also
hdparm -Tt
to see just how fast your hda is. That is, if the drive you tried to copy to/from is hda. Replace with hd[bcd] at your leisure.
Just my two cents
What about......

Man, you've watched "The first 20 million dollars" way too many times... although you do have a point here.
:D
Anyway, go C ! Go Python ! What's that VB.NET ? Real programmers write in FORTRAN. If not FORTRAN then ASM. If not ASM, then it's not worth writing
Did you people notice that the languages google wants us to write programs in for the contest are all compiled ?

You would be surprised to find out that someone actually did.
