GParted is the GNOME Partition Editor application. It is used for creating, destroying, resizing, checking and copying partitions, and the file systems on them. This is useful for creating space for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, copying data residing on hard disks and mirroring one partition with another (disk imaging).
It uses libparted to detect and manipulate devices and partition tables while several (optional) file system tools provide support for file systems not included in libparted. These optional packages will be detected at runtime and do not require a rebuild of GParted.
GParted is written in C++ and uses gtkmm as Graphical Toolkit. The general approach is to keep the GUI as simple as possible and in conformity with the Human Interface Guidelines.
There is also a Live CD, based on Slackware and built on latest 2.6 Linux kernel. Live CD is updated with each new GParted release; however, if you have the Ubuntu Live CD, Gparted is one of the included utilities.
