Trinity Rescue Kit 3.4 Comes with Linux Kernel 2.6.35

Trinity Rescue Kit (TRK) 3.4 has been released after more than a year of development. TRK is a Live CD distro aimed at rescue and repair tasks on both Windows and Linux PCs. TRK 3.4 comes with the latest Linux kernel 2.6.35 and quite a number of new features.

“[T]he new TRK 3.4 is better, easier and more debugged than ever before! The biggest visible enhancement here is the addition of a menu interface. Not a graphical one -who needs that in a rescue distribution?- but a text based, scrollable menu from which any regular computer user can perform otherwise complicated tasks,” Trinity Rescue Kit developer Tom Kerremans announced.

“TRK 3.4 has received numerous feature additions like 'winclean', a home brewed utility to perform offline Windows disk cleaning, a new virusscan engine in the seriously debugged virusscan tool,” he added.

Highlights of Trinity Rescue Kit 3.4:

· Linux kernel 2.6.35;
· the new menu system for selecting many of the tasks available in TRK 3.4;
· a rewritten virusscan tool with five scanning engines under the hood - ClamAV, F-prot, BitDefender, Vexira and now Avast, as well;
· a rewritten winpass tool to reset Windows passwords which prevents users from breaking their installs by disabling SYSKEY;
· a new winclean script which deletes temporary and unused files from temp folders, IE-cache, javacache, hanging printerjobs, uninstall files from Windows update patches, dllcache and recycle bins;
· complete manpages for all of the custom utilities;
· updated as well as new packages.

Trinity Rescule Kit 3.4 also comes with one neat trick for Windows users, they can download it in executable form and burn it to a CD directly, no CD-burning software is required.
