Do you happen to know if this is the same tool that's on the Ubuntu CDs? I 
had to load Ubuntu recently for a project I'm working on and was very 
impressed by the fact that they had a partition editor that painlessly 
resized the existing NTFS partition and made room to install Ubuntu. If 
they are the same that's great, otherwise if someone gets a round 'tuit 
before I do it would be nice to add both tools to the list.
