Undeletion (ext2) mini-HOWTO Some notes to recovering accidentally

do use tricks like grep -b /dev/?dXX (to search a pattern
all over a disk and return the block numbers at which they are
found) and
dd if=dev/?dXX of=/mnt/tmp/recovery.raw skip=??? count=???
(to snarf raw data off that area of the filesystem) and vi
to perform some amazing feats of data recovery under
UNIX.

Basics: Use and Configuration
Some general purpose URLs to Linux related material:
- Freshmeat
-
- ./
- (slashdot):
The quintessential free-for-all site for geeky
information (not all Linux).
- Google: Linux
-
One of the best search engines for finding Linux
material on the web.
- LinuxFool
- Another
portal site.
- Linux Today
-
- Linux Press Releases
-
- Goob's Linux Links
-
- Gary's Encyclopedia
of Linux Links
-
- Linas Vepstas' Site
-
This is not the Linus that Linux is named after.
However he does have a nice collection of links to
professional quality Linux software and some
well-written commentary on that and related subjects.
- Christopher
B. Browne's Site
- Another site with many worthwhile links,
particularly those that relate to running client/server
database management systems (DBMS) under Linux.
- Using PDF under Linux
- Recently commended by Catherine Clarkson
along with a report of bitrot on this page.
