Ah so those CAN be resized! Good to know for my bro, who will eventually be trying out Redhat 9. Ummm can Redhat 9 resize NTFS partitions?

Hmm, I don't know about RH9 and I can't seem to find anything on their page. I do know however that SuSE 8.2 and Mandrake 9.1 do support NTFS partitioning out of the box.
NM:
For new users, I love SuSe. Besides the time it took to actually read the files from the Cds, I installed 8.0 on a previously all Win98 machine in less than 15 minutes. Easy and painless.
Openoffice is wonderful.
If they run XP under NTFS, you probably want Mandrake, as SUSE 8.2 does not support resizeing NTFS partitions.
Or you could buy a cheap HD. . . .

Wrong. 8.2 Professional supports NTFS partitions resizing. ;)
lazygamer:
There might be freeware Wind0ze programs that can handle NTFS partition resizing.
I was wondering though, why the heck does RH9 need 400 mhz to run properly? This is Linux, not Windows. The only possiblity is that Windows cuts corners on hardware requirements by being extra unstable, Linux might do the opposite.
Rising system requirements on Linux wouldn't be out of hand like Windows system requirements. Maybe later versions of distros might get bloated(useless things loaded by default, things you don't need in the kernel, more eyecandyish GUIs), but not in a Windows way(so it would be bloated, but an optimized high quality bloated). So in theory, Redhat 11(around 2004?) would probably need 600mhz at the most to run good, whereas longhorn would need well over 1GHZ to run good.

Just download partition magic 8.0 off kazaa. It should be a 30mb download. Get version 8.0 and not 7.0.
