Review: Parted Magic 4.0
,----[ Quote ]
| As far as actually using Parted Magic 4.0 to partition a drive, it works
| great. I went in, threw everything at it I could and it worked flawlessly.
| In fact, the newer version of Gparted works a lot better than the previous
| versions used. It was more or less *click, click, click, done* when
| repartitioning a drive. Yes, it was fast!
|
| And I haven't seen any failings in all the tests I've run, including
| stability issues. It's been rock solid. So overall I have no complaints
| with this version of Parted Magic. I think it's some of the best work I've
| seen from this developer group since it got started. Well done guys!

| Hot off the press, Parted Magic 4.0 has been released. In short, it's a
| lightweight Linux live CD with a firm focus on partitioning drives. From its
| web site, "The Parted Magic OS employs core programs of GParted and Parted to
| handle partitioning tasks with ease, while featuring other useful programs
| (e.g. Partition Image, TestDisk, fdisk, sfdisk, dd, and ddrescue) and an
| excellent set of documentation to benefit the user. An extensive collection
| of file system tools are also included."

| Yet another Slackware-based Linux distro! Parted Magic, aka “The Linux CD
| Partitioning Tool”, is a Live OS packed with recovery tools that you can use

|
| Parted Magic is a lightweight OS that can run as a Live CD/USB. It includes
| many recovery utilities that can help repairing damaged systems. Additional
| software tools are available as downloadable modules. It would have been nice
| to have some of these modules (e.g. ClamAV, F-PROT) inside the OS, but
| hopefully these features will be added soon.

Review: Parted Magic 3.3
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the things I've found that new users tend to have trouble with is disk
| partitioning. Even some professional computer repairman have issues with it.
| That's why I was glad the day I stumbled onto Gparted, a free open source
| disk partition editing program that allows you to make changes to the
| partitions on your hard drive. But that had its issues, the biggest being
| that you had to fire up a full blown livecd in order to gain access to it.
| From a practical standpoint, that really didn't work too well.
|
| [...]
|
| For such a simple distribution with a simplistic purpose, it's been one of
| the better distributions I've come across for general maintenance to your
| computer's hard drive, and it's partitions. I'm quite impressed with it, and
| would recommend it to anyone who needs to edit some partitions on their
| computer, change them, remove them, etc.
