This might be of interest to some. The Linux NTFS project page at http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net has some tools that one can use to add better NTFS support for linux. There are some kernal patches for 2.4.x kernals that implement some of the new features available in 2.5.x. Additionally there are some user space tools and documentation. As far as resizing goes in addition to partition magic, I've located something called System Commander at http://www.v-com.com/product/sc7_ind.html. From what I can tell it costs less than PM, so it might be a good choice for those who don't already have PM, and are concerned about licensing issues related to using someone else's copy. I haven't found any open source alternatives for nondestructive NTFS partitioning/resizing, but that doesn't necessarily mean than one doesn't exist. --Brandon
