Install Ubuntu without fear of loosing Windows or Mac OS

Softpedia is proud to introduce today a new Linux operating system based on the popular Ubuntu distribution, Ubuntu Secured Remix.

Ubuntu Secured Remix 11.10 is actually based on the Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) operating system and is a slightly modified version of the Ubuntu Desktop Live CD.

Ubuntu Secured Remix was created with one single goal in mind, to be used by users who want to install the Ubuntu distro in a dual-boot configuration with the Windows or Macintosh operating systems.

The Ubuntu Secured Remix Live CD offers only three applications created by the same developer: Clean-Ubiquity, OS-Uninstaller and Boot-Repair. The rest of the CD ISO image is exactly the same with the official Ubuntu 11.10 release, yes the one from October 2011, which means a lot of updates must be applied after installation.

Clean-Ubiquity is probably the most important part of Ubuntu Secured Remix, a modified version of the Ubuntu Ubiquity installed that automatically backups MBRs during installation.

The OS-Uninstaller application provided in the Ubuntu Secured Remix 11.10 Live CD offers the ability to uninstall (actually it will erase and reformat your hard drive with a desired filesystem) any installed operating system from the respective computer.

The Boot-Repair application implemented in the Ubuntu Secured Remix 11.10 Live CD is a small and smart utility that can be used to repair the filesystem, the GRUB boot loader or MBR, to change the GRUB boot loader location, to change the MBR or GRUB options.

With the OS-Uninstaller and Boot-Repair apps users can also backup partition tables, boot sectors and logs.
