Special Information

PLD RescueCD is a bootable disk that contains a live Linux distribution based on PLD Linux (2.6.37 modular kernel) made in Poland.

Furthermore this version uses transparent compression (squashfs) to fit about 180 MB of software onto a single mini CD in usable form.

PLD RescueCD can be used to rescue ailing machines, perform intrusion post-mortems, act as a temporary secure linux-based workstation (using ssh, vpn connecting to remote host - other networking clients are also supported), install PLD Linux, and perform many other tasks that we haven't yet imagined.

It provides a much nicer rescue environment than your average rescue floppy.
