  • Select view:
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

 I've used Rescatux alot since it came out and it has never failed to impress me by putting things to right in triple, quad or in hard drives with an even higher number of installations after Grub updates, kernel change or my mistakes caused Windows or one Linux or another to seize up. It will straighten out Windows in MBR or UEFI, MS-DOS or GPT regardless and simply gets things booting again.

Another thing Rescatux can do that I discovered a few years ago when I was running a dozen Linux and two Windows installs; Some Linux distros have a nice colored boot menu that has a nice font and a higher screen resolution while others are butt-ugly with an oversized white font on a BSOD. While making repairs with Rescatux you can pick the Linux operating system that presents the nicest boot menu, regardless of its place in the sequence of installs, to be the startup boot menu - providing that the os-probe of the Linux distro you've chosen recognizes each of the bootable partitions. Some do (PCLOS, Siduction, MX, Parrot, Manjaro) while others do not (Bodhi, eLive, VOID and almost all Arch-based distros like EndeavourOS, CachyOS, etc. as their os-probe are turned off.

I can't imagine why any multibooter whose heard of Rescatux doesn't have it in their toolkit. Some may use SuperGrub 2 and it will straighten out simple Windows/Debian-based Linux conflicts but IMO Rescatux is a far better utility that can do far more boot-related repairs that cover virtually every Linux type. Don't leave home without it!

 This Distro contains everything you need to get a maschine booted. Also tools for Win maschines like password reset. Unfortunately the grup installer did not work for me because the Acer One Switch 10 is somehow hardware blocked and only Win install is possible. I wish I had found this earlier so my dualboot systems would have worked better. What I also like is that you get an explanation for every script so you dont just push a button but learn something and get the knowledge about what you are doing. Very good tools it feels like a swiss pocket knife.

 Excellent tool. I have already managed to recover Windows MBR on several occasions, I have restored Grub and I have also successfully used Check and fix filesystems. Very useful in times of need. Congratulations to the developers.
