Share files across Linux or across platforms

Meiga is a small program with big capabilities. It allows you to share files not only between two Linux operating systems, but also between Linux and Mac, and even between Linux and Windows operating systems. Meiga has a nice and easy to user GUI and it can be installed directly from a package. Moreover, only the sending side needs to install the program; the recepient can access the files sent to him/her right from his/her favorite web browser. more>>


Recover Deleted Patitions

It has happened to me at least twice now, that I accidentally delete a partition with all my data on it, and only a second later I realize what a terrible mistake I'd done. If this is the case with you, then TestDisk will help you recover / restore your deleted partition(s) in just seconds. TestDisk is a free and open source program that comes preinstalled on many LiveCD Lnux distributions. However, only a few of the distributions have the latest version of test disk. Therefore, I would recommend use PartedMagic LiveCD, since it always carries the most recent versions of the programs included, plus it is a great little operating system that has many other useful tools. more>>

That's because most system files are protected, so that, only a root user has permissions to edit them. Therefore in order to edit a protected system or configuration file, you first have to open is as root. But how to you do that? more>>
