Will GParted allow me to grow/shrink my Boot Camp partition? I don't want to buy iPartition, and I don't feel like backing up my data at the current moment, but that's probably because I have nowhere to back it up to :(.
@ lippyjkaThe underlying distribution matters too, not so much for back-up speed, but with other features like non-Linux FS support, automatic mounting of storage devices, and possibly some other features like providing instructions after boot up, or automatically taking care of the above and tossing you right into the app instead of expecting you to know how to start it from a console with no instructions.
@ubunterdThe program on SystemRescueCd for backing up in under 10 minutes is PartImage - all speeds being relative@lippyjkaGParted is a partitioning tool available on a lot of distributions, having it on this one does not make it the same - the tool in question is PartImage, not GParted, and it is used for backing up a partition, not resizing it - btw, SystemRescueCd is built on Gentoo LinuxThe tool in the article, Clonezilla, distinguishes itself from PartImage in that it can back up a whole drive - not just the individual partitions

No, only true Linux Ninjas. If you're a pirate, the CD will explode in your drive, killing you instantly. ;)

Looks very interesting, I'll try it out too, for some reason i like their website, i will link to them from my beautiful directories <a class="user" href="http://www.agoradirectory.net,">http://www.agoradirectory.net,</a> <a class="user" href="http://www.alphadirectory.net,">http://www.alphadirectory.net,</a> <a class="user" href="http://www.alphalinks.info">http://www.alphalinks.info</a> and <a class="user" href="http://www.awesome-directory.com!">http://www.awesome-directory.com!</a> i think open source is really the solution to pirated products, since people will steal and use the programs for free, why not just make them free from the beginning and think of other ways to monetize these softwares, example ads..
