There is one thing that I am curious of.  What will be used to re-partition
a person's hard drive.  This is under the assumption that someone has a
rather large drive and only has one partition with one OS installed.  I
personally use partition magic, but I can't really bring that...

I would like to know what free utilities people have used to do this.  I
could search google to find out what's available, but I would like to know
what people have had successfull personal experience with.
