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".

Well written, with step by step instructions and illustration about how to use GParted. I recommended to anyone that is working with hard drives.

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!
