Linux undelete?

Anyone know of a user friendly undelete for Linix?

Seems that in ext3 when you delete something like a directory it actually goes through all the underlinked files and directories in the allocation tables COMPLETELY deleteing the references and clearing all allocation references where the files/folders were on the disk.

This of course removes any possibly of a simple recovery that at least I have found. So that means that if you delete a file, you can't just say oops, and relink it like you could in Unix for years. Now all you can do is recover blocks that contain something, and you have to try and rebuild the files from these blocks and there are gazillions. Even for text files.

Anyone had an idea or am I just screwed for performing an ID-10-T error?
