This is only for debian/ubuntu if you are going to say its for linux in a generic sense then you should put instructions on how to compile from source, how to install it via the package managers of various distros or both.

Sorry, I should have added that I was specifically looking for a virtualized SpinRite solution.

Just in case anyone else comes across this, I’ve successfully got this working from Windows with little trouble. The only real difference being the way the target disk is specified (\\.\PhysicalDisk1 vs /dev/sda2) and the ‘-register’ option is not valid for v4.1.4 of the VBoxManage app. The number of the PhysicalDisk can be easily determined by looking at the ‘Disk Management’ console.

And, yes, it’s slow.

Wine is a last-resort workaround in general, but it is never (rarely?) a “good” user experience. It’s something to use if you have to, and the teams supporting it work very hard to make it the best possible translation layer, but to support an entire subscription service for which you pay per month or per unit of consumption (games/e-books/music downloads/etc)? Dubious, at best.

Comment on Ubuntu 12.04 Change to Classic Gnome by podshot

essentially this is both the same .. “gnome-panel” arranges everything like it was in lucid, so when you log in all is already set up for you. That fallback thing might require some post-tweaks; I would just use the “gnome-panel” package – it is also in software center, just search for it, it is one click only to install everything it needs.

Is there a distinct advantage to using command line tools over say something like this to get the information?
