A Great HDD Partition Util, Now With Firefox
The new Parted Magic adds Firefox 3.5 and other cool features while stomping a few bugs.
A new version of Parted Magic, a Slackware-based Linux distribution, was release yesterday, fixing a few bugs and adding new packages such as Adblock Plus 1.02, gdisk 0.2.2, Firefox 3.5, and more. Parted Magic is an extremely handy toolset--or rather a "business card" operating system--to help users perform recovery tasks or partition hard drives. Parted Magic requires at least a Pentium 2 processor and 400 MB of RAM to operate, or 128 MB for "Live" mode. Adding Firefox now enables end-users to jump online straight off the "live CD.
In addition to the new features and bug fixes, the developers also upgraded the toolset's visual interface. "We also took some time to redo the artwork," said Patrick Verner. "Many thanks to Jason Vasquez for heading up this effort. I think it's the best looking version of Parted Magic yet!"

So basically the only news is that a Linux-based recovery CD got Firefox 3.5 before the Long Term Service version of Ubuntu did?
Just another reason why I love open source stuff, expecially gnu linux
No crappy proprietary policies stopping quality code from being written... *cough* Microshit *cough*
That is really helpful if you have only one pc, but most guys that do this kind of stuff use a second computer via lan to transfer files and do the appropriate research
parted is a cool utility, but this article is incredibly random. It would have been much more useful to make an article that's EQUALLY random about something that more people would care about... maybe something like, "Linux kernel 2.6.31-rc3 is now available"?
