GParted LiveCD vs Parted Magic
,----[ Quote ]
| Despite its smaller image size, Parted Magic comfortably beats GParted LiveCD
| in terms of available software tools, including not just GParted for disk
| partitioning, but a number of other useful utilities, as well as impressive
| documentation.

What a wonderful and extensive set of free CDs, just for the purpose of
partitioning. It's like the whole idea of appliances replacing applications.

| even counting the distributions dedicated just to being a home media center!

GNU/Linux Partitioning: A Myth
,----[ Quote ]
| It’s annoying to read so much about partitioning under GNU/Linux being hard.
| Though I have installed various distributions (and still installing) for
| about 50 times in a year (without exaggeration) for myself, my friends and
| known people; this claim about “Partitioning under GNU/Linux is hard” is
| really baseless since I’ve never faced such complication till now even though
| I am not an extremely advanced user.

LinuxMCE 1.1 Released -- Now Runs KDE
,----[ Quote ]
| There's also word that LinuxMCE, since it works so well with the
| KDE desktop environment, that the guys at the KDE project are
| seriously considering integrating LinuxMCE into their upcoming
| 4.0 release. Now this is HUGE! If combined in the KDE 4.0 release,
| LinuxMCE + Kubuntu would be a free, open-source competitor/aternative
| to Windows Vista Ultimate.
