Oh wow, it has a GUI IT MUST BE BETTER!

Please, PM is a horrible product. I have had luck with it before so it isn't like "OMG IT DELETED MY PARTITION SO I'M GONNA ***** ABOUT IT NON-STOP!". fdisk can show just as much information. Hell compmgmt.msc shows as much information.

fdisk is a proven product and is just as good as PM. I guess you're used to the trashed version of fdisk that comes with Microsoft products. fdisk that comes with the gentoo live CD has houndreds of file systems to choose from when partitioning.

If you require a non-destructive partitioning utility, use the one that comes with Mandrake. Otherwise, fdisk is perfect.
