Did you ever copy many files to a portable usb-harddisk and use another system to update or delete files ? And later have trouble to find the few files you changed among all the others ? CompareDir does just that: it can compare 2 directories + subdirectories and you decide what files you want to keep, copy or delete. Manual: point it at a MasterDir, a SlaveDir than click "Diff" = show only the files that are available in only 1 directory-tree. Or click "All" = show all files in both directories. Or click "Eq" = show file only the files that are the same. Note the program cheqs FileName, FileSize, FileDate and (sub)directory. It does not compute md5 sums because that would make it extremely slow. Mind you i use this regular for directories with 2000 photos. Based on Python, pygobject and gtk3. + Python-pillow if you want to compare 2 images. No installation: untar -xvzf CompareDir.tgz where you want and run.

Enterprise is a custom UEFI bootloader designed to load Linux distributions directly from ISO files on Apple Mac computers (even those without UEFI booting support). It is designed to compliment Mac Linux USB Loader, though it can also be used separately (albeit with some setup work). The purpose of Enterprise is as the first stage in a two-stage booting process for Mac Linux USB Loader-created USB drives. Essentially, Enterprise loads GRUB, giving it configuration settings and the location of necessary files inside of the desired ISO, and then the distribution is booted. Enterprise will soon support booting multiple distributions, so you can have more than one distribution per USB stick. This way, you can test out multiple distributions.
