SystemRescueCd是一份可启动光盘Linux系统，它用于在崩溃后修复系统及数据。它的另一个目标是为在你的计算机上完成管理任务提供方便，例如创建和修改硬盘分区。它包含了大量的系统实用工具（parted、partimage、fstools等）及基本软件（编辑器、midnight commander，网络工具）。它面向易用性，只要从光盘引导你就可以做任何事情了。其内核支持大多数最重要的文件系统（ext2/ext3、reiserfs、xfs、jfs、vfat、ntfs、iso9660），以及网络系统（samba和nfs）。SystemRescueCd基于Gentoo LiveCd。

François Dupoux has released SystemRescueCd 1.2.0, a Gentoo-based live CD with a collection of hard disk management and data rescue utilities: "SystemRescueCd 1.2.0 has just been released. It's a major release and it comes with a new kernel version, new desktop environment, and update for important packages. First, the graphical environment has been updated. It's now based on X.Org Server 1.5.3, which improves the hardware support and comes with new drivers. The desktop environment is now Xfce, because it's both very good (very comfortable, many settings) and very small. Parts of Xfce which are not essential and which have many dependencies have not been included. The kernel has been updated to version 2.6.29; it comes with more drivers and it also supports the very promising Btrfs file system (still under heavy development). GParted has been updated to 0.4.5." Read the complete release announcement to learn about other major changes in this release. Download: systemrescuecd-x86-1.2.0.iso (234MB, MD5).（责任编辑：A6）
