Eine Umfassende, detaillierte und eingängige Beschreibung für dieses hilfreiche Programm.Das Buch ist übersichtlich als eine Schritt für Schritt Anleitung zum verstehen und lernen der einzelnen Themen aufgeteilt, so dass das Wissen gut aufgebaut wird.Die einzelnen Schritte lassen sich meines Erachtens aber auch ohne das Vorwissen nutzen und sin dabei kein "Fachchinesich".

There are few things with our PCs quite as complex as hard drive partitions. While I'm personally very familiar with them, I've been approached by friends and acquaintances alike with various questions - and trust me, partitions are not easy to discuss over the phone. Many of these friends had the goal of installing Linux in mind, so when I checked out this book, I wanted to see if it introduced the concepts of partitions and what you can do with them well enough so that I could recommend it to anyone who approached me again. Fortunately, I reached that conclusion. This book is very well-written, well-structured and even tackles a couple of things I wouldn't have expected it to (such as VM partitions). I'd heartily recommend it to anyone just learning about partitions, or those who'd like to take great advantage of GParted.

A very good book. I had to repartition my hard drive when my Linux root partition ran out of space. A serious and daunting prospect for anybody who has never done any partitioning before.I used the book in conjunction with postings on various Linux sites and managed to achieve what I wanted. The book is well structured with plenty of screen shots from the gparted cd. Procedures are very well explained and easy to follow. I did additional reading to enhance my knowledge, but the book contains sufficient guidance for this not to be necessary.To my delight, my computer successfully booted and is working fine. Thank you Curtis Gedak!

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
