Download Gnome Partition Editor 0.4.2

Today a new version of Gnome Partition Editor has been released, which is 0.4. With GParted it is possible to partition a hard drive and modify existing partitions. The program itself is not that big, but usually it comes in the form of a live CD which makes it usable on any platform. However, the latest live CD available for download from SourceForge currently contains stable version 0.4.1-2 and test build 0.4.2 pre-release 1, but hopefully that will change soon. Here’s what’s changed in the 0.4.2 release:
