Trinity Rescue Kit (TRK) is a free and open-source Linux distribution with a command-line interface.

TRK was designed for deployment as a live CD or live USB. The author of TRK, Tom Kerremans, includes in the distribution various third-party software utilities for repairing damaged files, recovering data, resetting passwords, detecting computer viruses, and disk cloning.[3] TRK is especially equipped for repairing common problems in Microsoft Windows and Unix-like operating systems.[4][5]

To reduce disk space required, TRK uses a bespoke help command, trkhelp, instead of the man pages typical of Linux distributions.

Preview build 396 was released in March 2014.[1] A fork of TRK called Mango (MAssive Network GhOst) was released by Juan Carlos Pineda, modified to simplify cloning computers.[1]

History[edit]

Starting in 2001, after creating a bootable DOS-based CD of proprietary software for offline operations (named "The Vault"), Belgian developer, Tom Kerremans decided to create a free bootable Linux CD.[5]

The purpose would be to include free tools that could help rescue a Windows installation that was being problematic. Binaries and scripts from other distributions inspired the Trinity Rescue Kit. Sources included Mandriva 2005 and the Fedora Cores 3 and 4. The startup procedure and methods, and many scripts, are custom-made for Trinity Rescue Kit.[6]
