Exton|Defender fc44 (stable) with Cinnamon 6.6.7-7.fc44, Calamares Installer and Refracta Snapshot :: Build 260718
Exton|Defender SRS (Super Rescue System) is a Linux system available as a Live System based on Fedora 44, 64bit. Fedora 44 was released on April 28, 2026. Exton|Defender is for administrating or repairing your system and data after a crash. Exton|Defender aims to provide an easy way to carry out admin tasks on your computer, such as creating and editing the hard disk partitions. It comes with a lot of Linux software such as system tools and basic tools (editors, Midnight Commander, network tools). Exton|Defender can, however, also be used as a normal Linux Desktop System. It requires no hard drive installation, but can easily be installed to hard drive if you want. Desktop environment: A special version of Cinnamon 6.6.7-7.fc44 developed by Fedora.
NEWS 260718 ABOUT Exton|Defender BASED ON Fedora 44
I have discovered a way to run Exton|Defender fc44 from RAM also when starting Exton|Defender in UEFI mode. The previous Exton|Defender fc versions could only run from RAM if it started up in Legacy mode. So my advice is to run this version SUPER FAST from RAM! The best way to run a Linux Live System! When Exton|Defender has booted up you can remove/eject the USB stick or the DVD. NOTE ALSO: In version 260718 I’ve managed to change Refracta Snapshot to a GUI (Graphical User Interface) app! It is therefore even easier to handle Refracta Snapshot now!
IMPORTANT NOTE: On some computers Exton|Defender still can’t run from RAM in UEFI mode. Only in Legacy mode. I don’t know why. Sort of a mystery.
Runs from RAM
