S3cmd multiple profiles We understand it's a bit of a popularity contest, but if you have a favorite, we want to hear about it. As with most Hive Five posts, if your favorite was left out, it's not because we hate it-it's because it didn't get the nominations required in the call for contenders post to make the top five.
The Hive Five is based on reader nominations. Then we took at look at the five best system rescue discs based on your nominations. We asked you last week which rescue discs you thought were the best -the most flexible, functional, and packed with the most useful tools. With the right one, you can boot to it, use your machine like normal if you have to, scan for viruses, test your hardware, fix partitions, repair your operating system, and more. If your system won't boot, you're running into strange PC performance problems, or you want to test your hardware for failures, you'll need a good system rescue disc to save the day.
