From: Gordon Darling on
"The Parted Magic OS employs core programs of GParted and Parted to
handle partitioning tasks with ease, while featuring other useful
programs (e.g. Clonezilla, Partimage, TestDisk, Truecrypt, G4L,
SuperGrubDisk, ddrescue, etc...) and an excellent set of documentation to
benefit the user. An extensive collection of file system tools are also
included, as Parted Magic supports the following: ext2, ext3, ext4,
fat16, fat32, hfs, hfs+, jfs, linux-swap, ntfs, reiserfs, reiser4, and
xfs.

Parted Magic requires at least a i586 processor and 256MB of RAM to
operate or 128MB in "Live" mode.
