Distro help. Please?
piratePenguin:
QtParted (which I think is what Aloone_Jonez was referring to) uses libparted, which is provided by GNU parted (a command-line tool for partitioning).
GParted also uses libparted, but it's for GTK+.
In order to be able to resize NTFS, you'll need ntfsprogs too.
See here for more.
Aloone_Jonez:
QtParted, that's it!
I didn't need to download ntfsprogs but that's because it was probebly built in to Knoppix which I think is the most newb friendly way of doing this.
Dark_Me:
Huston we have Ubuntu! I just got Partition Magic. The rest is history.
I'm knida imbaressed. Turns out I just had 3 partitions on a 80GB hard drive. I just resized the one with the least on it and created a 10GB Ext3 partition. Will that be enough? BTW browsing with linux is wicked fast.

Should be, for a good while anyhow.
Did you make a swap partition?
Aloone_Jonez:
Even though I recommend using a swap, I've used Linux on my 256MB machine with out a swap and never run out of memory, having said that I didn't edit any large images or anything, but I doubt this could be done with Windows.
