How many times have you accidentally deleted a photo you really needed from a digital camera or attached storage medium? We’ve all been there and done that! Sure, if you delete most files — even some standard graphics images — from the hard drive, the Linux trash can visibly holds the goods. But unless you know about PhotoRec, your deleted photographic images and files from anywhere else stay buried in hidden-file hell. PhotoRec is a powerful recovery tool that is part of a larger disk and file recovery package.
Thumbs up because the package actually installed for me on Fedora Core 9 and RHEL 5 without a ridiculous number of third-party dependencies and without requiring newer libraries than the most recent distro updates.
