That little sucker has saved me TONS of time.

System tools included

     * GParted is a Partition Magic clone for Linux.
     * GNU Parted is the best text tool for editing your disk partitions 
under linux
     * Partimage is a Ghost/Drive-image clone for Linux
     * File systems tools (e2fsprogs, reiserfsprogs, reiser4progs, 
xfsprogs, jfsutils, ntfsprogs, dosfstools): they allow you to format, 
resize, and debug an existing partition of your hard disk
     * Ntfs3g: allows you to mount your Windows partition and get a full 
read/write unlimited access to the NTFS partition.
     * Sfdisk allows you to backup and restore your partition table
     * Test-disk tool to check and undelete partition, supports 
reiserfs, ntfs, fat32, ext2/3 and many others
     * Network tools (Samba, NFS, ping, nslookup, ...)
