partitioning in Linux instead of Windows
« on: 25 July 2003, 11:35 »
I have always used Partition Magic to partition me Hard Disk and I am told it is better and easier if I do it in Linux.

Any idea on how i can do this, and the best way to do this?

What Distro do you use

Mandrake, and SuSE have some very easy to use GUI thingies for partitions that are integrated.

try looking in the Control Centre.

I use Red Hat.

And I need something that I can edit the partitions with, not just view them.

You may want to try out qparted. It is a frontend for GNU Parted, and you can find it at the Fedora apt-get repository.
