You may sometime want to access your Linux file system ext2/ext3 from windows this is typical in dual boot environment. In past we had reviewed Ext2 IFS and now we are here with yet another similar tool Linux Reader from diskinternals.

Linux Reader plays the role of a bridge between your Windows and Ext2/Ext3 Linux file systems. This easy-to-use tool runs under Windows and allows you to browse Ext2/Ext3 Linux file systems and extract files from there.

The program provides for read-only access and does not allow you to make records in Ext2/Ext3 file system partitions. This guarantees that the interference in an alternative file system will not affect the work of Linux later.

    This looks like the best program of its kind, but it has a rather restrictive EULA. As written, it forbids “use…of this software together with material that is discriminating or displaying prejudice based on religion…sexual orientation…”

    The very EULA would discriminate against any person which has any material on their PC which expresses that truth is exclusive by nature, so that all religions are not equally true, or who disagree with any religion, and or who in good conscience cannot affirm bestiality, homosexuality, pornography, etc.

    If they removed the the ambiguous “discriminating or displaying prejudice” part, or applied it to acompanying material in distribution, then it would be more reasonable.

    While few people read much of EULA’s, and some would not let such restrictions stop them from using it, some people try to obey them. Thanks
