leon Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Im quite partial to Northern's Storage Suite and Symantec's Ghost Solution Suite. I also anticipate Faronics' Deep Freeze will become a much loved bit of kit once I've tested it properly.
SimpleSi Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Ghost Partition Manager Several Knoppix type CDs And although you said software I think every techy should have a portable USB hard Drive and USB floppy for when network booting/cloning fails. regards Simon
sqdge Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Day-to-day I use Partition Manager and Impero quite a lot. In particular, Impero has saved me a lot of time and effort when I need to do something small to a lot of computers - but it does come at a price (other, similar, software is available). Also a USB Drive with file recovery software and other little gizmos is very useful.
webman Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 All freely available: Recovery CDs such as UBCD, SystemRescueCD and Knoppix. This includes memtest86 which, um.. tests memory A decent text editor is a must - with line numbers for editing config files. On Windows - Notepad++ or metapad. WinSCP and PuTTY for administering Linux and BSD machines from windows. A decent web browser such as Firefox Then there's computer virtualisation - VMWare Server.

DJmizuhara Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 ZenOK Free Antivirus has served me well as a free anti-virus program. I recommend Malwarebytes for anti-spyware.
