This was discussed at foss.in, and amongst ourselves, and has also found support from the NRCF, etc. It might even be possible to find funding for part of the time for someone developing and maintaining such a site. The site itself will most likely be hosted at linux-india. We are planning to meet at 7pm tomorrow, 18/1, at Raj Mathur's place to discuss this. The address is BB3/G, DDA flats, Munirka, and is quite close to the main Munirka highway. Please feel free to contact me for directions.

Certainly it might now work on all platforms & its just the BASH version, but atleast it allows identification of a stock RH/Fedora installation. Likewise, /etc/issue.net can be changed anytime, but atleast it allows you to identify a system "in some cases". There can be zillion of other things that dont have a set strategy... OS fingerprinting can be one example, but a cumulative effect of various mechanisms can give surprisingly accurate results! -- regards, makuchaku --- http://makuchaku.info When you speak out with the courage of your convictions, people listen! -- Valmik Thapar, Wildlife Conservationist. ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2006 02:19:18 -0800 (PST) From: Mithun Bhattacharya Subject: Re: [ilugd] [Fwd: Re: [svlug] How to tell which flavor of Linux is installed?] To: The Linux-Delhi mailing list Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 --- Mayank Jain wrote: > Certainly it might now work on all platforms & its just the BASH > version, but atleast it allows identification of a stock RH/Fedora > installation.

Bash version will tell you just that the version of Bash you are using. Simillarly OS fingerprinting will tell you which version of the kernel is running. What I have been saying is that to know specifically which version of a distribution is installed just follow the strategy which the distribution uses to determine version.

[...] It would help if you gave us more details, and describe what you tried. What does simply running fsck on the partition give you?

Umm, sorry if I am stating the obvious, but maybe you should have asked or searched Google before trying random commands. It might have been possible to recover it even from the power failure in the middle of the fsck, but if you have really run mke2fs, your file system has been remade, and all your data are lost. It might be possible to recover some of it if you can find a real Linux data recovery expert, but their services will be quite expensive.

Make sure that you do not pay money up front. I would be surprised if you found anyone with the required expertise at Nehru Place. Search Google instead, and make a binary copy of your disk to another one before doing anything more with it.
