This was recently discussed. The answers are:
1) from a recent backup
2) if you are using a non-journaling FS, Google may turn up some info

If you are using the ext2 filesystem and pulled the plug
immediately, there's a slim chance.
Otherwise, restore from backup.

Usually, there isn't. On 'BSD hacks' there is a handy shell script
that will backup deleted files to a hidden .trash directory. You will
find it on Google.

The good news is the file can be recovered in exactly the same way as you do
in windows: Restore the file from a recent backup.
The bad news is you need to have a backup handy. External firewire hard
drives of massive capacity are getting inexpensive, and faubackup can
handle nightly backups like a champ.
