Why is this completely evil piece of software in the public domain at
all (I know it isn't public public, but still) I'm all for user based testing but this is completely ridiculous, to actually delete filesystem files - is their a greater evil ? It's like releasing a piece of code that does a rm -rf on your fielsystem and then saying it was only a pre-release... NO Excuse really. I can't think of many viruses that do such a thing, and this is supposed to be a tool ... Obviously I am deeply scarred. btw, all I get with R-Linux is a whole bunch of inode files, which I would now have to link together... does anyone have any advice regarding FS recovery....

An earlier version of gnome-system-tools also destroyed my Red Hat network settings (I had backed them up manually, so I could get the files back again, and gnome-system-tools apparently does that.) I reported it. Apparently it was fixed.
