   Review - Mandriva Linux

   2010.2 (Dec 27, 2010)

   2010.2 is the nest Mandriva release yet. Fast and slick. The PowerPack has all of the multimedia stuff working out of the box, and the installer is the best of any Linux distro I have seen. Mandriva's Drake GUI tools for system management are top notch. The DVD version had lots of drivers, and I had no issues installing on hardware that was problematical for other distros, wireless cards included.

   Review - SecureFX

   6.5 Beta 2 (Oct 17, 2009)

   Beautiful integration and connection sharing with SecureCRT. I've used this in the bundle for years. It's powerful and scriptable. Makes repetitive jobs a breeze, and cross platform secure transfers easy.

   Review - SecureCRT

   6.5 Beta 2 (Oct 17, 2009)

   The best of the best. I've been using this in the SecureCRT/SecureFX bundle for years. Yes, it's expensive, but the capabilities are unbeatable for professionals. The scripting and tabbed interface make difficult and repetitive jobs a breeze.
   
   Expensive, but worth it, if you have a need for a full-featured professional product, this is it. I wouldn't be without it. Also, top notch support over the years, and responsive to customer requests for new featured. I've had many I suggested added.
   
   Call me a satisfied user.

6. Comment - Paragon Hard Disk Manager 2011 Suite

   6.5 Beta 2 (Jan 17, 2011 - 3:34 PM)

   Apparently you are the inexperienced user Grizz... of you have never used a fully aware partitioning tool and later PM. As long as you never use a fully aware partition manager and only stick with PM, you are OK. Just don't ever mix any tools. Mix a partition manager that does not force partitions to end on a cylinder boundary and then run PM, it'll fix that partition table for you for sure. Boom, nonfunctional disk.
   
   Paragon is excellent in this regard.

7. Comment - Paragon Hard Disk Manager 2011 Suite

   Sorry, psycros you must be kidding, or completely inept.
   
   Paragon Hard Drive Manager has been the most solid hard disk partition manager I have ever used, and I have used a lot of them over the decades I have been a professional. It is the only app that runs on Windows that does not make the M$ assumption that partitions must end on a cylinder boundary. So using it on mixed Windows, Linux, and Solaris installations is possible and reliable. Partition Magic will blow out a hard drive partition table in a situation like that.
   
   I can't recommend this app highly enough.
   
   If you never use other partition types you may be able to get along with Partition Magic. But really, why bother. Thjis is so much better.
   
   The network partition backup alone is worthwhile. I give if 5 stars plus.
