gparted vs partition magic

Guess Partition magic is familiar to most folks around.

However, I wanted an Free Open Source solution addressing the same purpose.

My searches have led me to parted
(http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/index.shtml)
and it's gui-enabled frontend gparted
(http://gparted.sourceforge.net/)

There's a gparted live cd,
(http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php)
which is a bootable linux cd which takes you straight to the gparted gui.

Also, gparted is available on the "SystemRescueCd" liveCD distribution.

Also, here's a good link on using gparted to partition hard drives on Windows Vista preinstalled laptops.

Programming from the ground up

An apparently good resource for programming in assembly under linux.

Bartlett, Jonathan - Programming from the Ground up

This is the first book I've seen so far on assembly programming using the gnu toolset.
And the book is available as soft copy under GPL

Thanks again to my friend Haynes for pointing me to this.
