[Gllug] Installation Information

[Steve Cobrin]

As well as Partition Magic 8.0, I'd also recommend Acronis OS Selector 
8.0 (www.acronis.com) or Acronis' new "Partition Export 2003", both are 
easy to use. They are both the current best commercial products. They 
both have problems with the very latest ext3 partitions (HTREE option) 
and some of the more obscure journalled file systems. Partition Magic 
and OS Selector have regularly been bundled with some distros (Caldera, 
SuSE, ASPLinux, <others I can't recall>)

If however you want a free product, the only Open Source NTFS resizer I 
know of is described at 
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/ntfsresize.html
