tool for secure deleting / file restoring

Submitted by guestt on March 12, 2007 - 1:30pm

There are serveral open source tools for file wping. A good list is here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_wiping. I don`t know which programm is reviewed as beeing secure. But to have a good one as portable would be nice.

I don`t know any open source tools for file undelete, but sometimes this could be helpful aswell.

Portable Linux Kernel inside Windows _without_ emulation (complicated and interesting imho)

Submitted by guestt on March 11, 2007 - 7:20pm

CoLinux is a way to run linux inside (!) windows.
No emulation such as vmware!
Therefore linux and all linux applications will run with fullspeed and without lag!

Some links....
- http://www.colinux.org/ (I guess it`s the basic project. Imho you need to be a little geek to get it running.
- http://wiki.gp2x.org/wiki/AndLinux (promising but still to complicated)
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/colonist/ (Aim`s to be run out of the box, I did not get it to work.)
- http://www.topologilinux.com/ (Most easy installer, I got it working including online connection.)

Portable CMD

Submitted by cardernE on March 10, 2007 - 2:58pm

i don't no if this is possible, but could a portable version of the windows Command Prompt be made. Or of command.com

I need this because i'm generally using a school PC with seriously a seriously limited account, (CMD obviously disabled) and I need to run some batch files.

Even better would be a java prog dat somehow piggybacks off of CMD.exe or command.com because running java apps isn't disabled.

Thanks for the help and thumbs up to JTH
