Patrick Verner announced today the immediate availability of Parted Magic 4.0, a Slackware-based Linux distribution designed to help users with hard disk partitioning and recovery tasks.

Every so often there comes a distribution that sets itself apart from all others in ways far beyond mention. Parted Magic is one of those. It is *the* defacto distribution for all hard drive maintenance. And the more it grows, the better it gets.

The latest release of Parted Magic, the open source multi-platform partitioning tool, features several updates, changes and the addition of three new programs

The 4.11 update to the open source Parted Magic multi-platform partitioning tool is based on the 2.6.32.15 Linux kernel and Parted 2.3

Parted Magic, one of the best stand alone partition editors, is back once again with a new and updated version. But what's so special about this version, considering the narrow scope of things that Parted Magic is designed to do?

I've been using Parted Magic to work on my disks, and after recently replacing my old 1.x live Parted Magic CD with 4.6, I'm enjoying the little things that PM brings to the project.

Parted Magic has been updated to version 3.6 and includes bug fixes, updates and a number of new programs. Parted Magic can be used to create, move, delete and resize drive partitions and will run on a machine with 128MB of RAM.

Today I want to talk about a specialist Linux distro which has saved me from pretty nasty situations more than once, Parted Magic 5.3.

Version 4.10 of Parted Magic, the multi-platform partitioning tool, is now available and includes several new programs, such as the BusyBox tool collection and the UNetbootin utility for creating LiveUSB systems
