A New Linux Distribution

Trinity Rescue Kit | CPR for your computer

New features include easy to use startup menu, kernel 2.6.37.1, new virusscan engine (Avast), several backup utilities, amongst which the contributed 'pi', debugged and more foolproof 'winpass' Trinity Rescue Kit or TRK is a free live Linux distribution that aims specifically at recovery and repair operations on Windows machines, but is equally usable for Linux recovery issues. Since version 3.4 it has an easy to use scrollable text menu that allows anyone who masters a keyboard and some English to perform maintenance and repair on a computer, ranging from password resetting over disk cleanup to virus scanning -from network over PXE: you start 1 TRK from CD or USB and you run all other computers from that one over the network without modifying anything to you local network. It is higly recommended you leave alone older versions of TRK and download the latest 3.4, except for maybe some (quite) older machines with limited resources. http://trinityhome.org/Home/index.php?content=TRINITY_RESCUE_KIT____CPR_FOR_YOUR_COMPUTER&front_id=12&lang=en&locale=en

GeeXboX

After countless years of development, the 2.0 release of GeeXboX (codename “Love It or Shove It”) finally has landed. The GeeXboX project was created in December 2002, 9 years ago, to become the major HTPC / MediaCenter dedicated Linux distribution. From a ridiculous 3 MB ISO image, using an ultra-simple customized version of MPlayer OSD, GeeXboX now has evolved into a much more mature system. Our objective always has been to provide you with a Linux distribution, so easy to use, that anyone, regardless of any computer skill, would be able to make use of it. Over the years, the project has evolved to always provide more features and bring support to more and more hardware devices, which we managed to do, at some cost.

Strongly advise using user , as the sign in name and computer , as the computer name with the initial Remastersys install. This way the OS should install without a problem. Then look at changing the sign in name, password, and so on, once installation completed. Changing the computer name, at any time, makes MythTV not work properly, am looking at this problem.
