Exton|Defender (Fedora Rawhide/38) with the Deepin Desktop and kernel 6.2-rc5-fc38 :: Build 230130

Exton|Defender SRS is a Linux system available as a Live DVD/USB based on Fedora Rawhide, 64bit. (Rawhide is the development version of Fedora). 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: Deepin 20.8. Since Fedora 37 was released 221115 this version of Exton|Defender can be seen as a “test” release. At first I was thinking of making a remaster of Fedora 37 with Cinnamon. Then I discovered that you can download an “official” Fedora 37 ISO with Cinnamon. You can also download some Rawhide “spins”. No one with the Deepin Desktop Environment though (as far as I know). So Exton|Defender Build 230130 must be UNIQUE!

ABOUT the Deepin Desktop Environment
Deepin DE (made in China!) is devoted to providing a beautiful, easy to use, safe and reliable system for global users. I came to like Deepin DE very much when I installed it in ExTiX and ArchEX. So I thought why not install the Deepin DE also in Exton|Defender?

System Tools included
NTFS-3g, GParted, PartImage, Shred, Sfdisk (util-linux-ng), Rsync, Ddrescue, FSArchiver, TestDisk and Midnight Commander. Other programs (among many others): NetworkManager, Firefox, Parole Media Player, Samba, Java and Java Runtime Environment (JRE), Emacs, Safecopy, kernel headers and many compilation tools. Exton|Defender uses kernel 6.2-rc5-fc38. Study all installed packages…

THE IMPORTANCE OF Exton|Defender being based on upcoming Fedora 38
Programs won’t “crash” or anything like that. And I haven’t noticed any “bugs”. That said you should of course be a bit careful. This version of Exton|Defender is for people who like to use “cutting-edge” software and the latest kernels etc. You will always have the latest Linux/Fedora software installed if you regularly run the command sudo dnf upgrade –refresh.
