Text-based uses GNU Parted in the backend
nparted is the
newt-based frontend to GNU Parted. Projects have started for an
ncurses frontend, that also could be used in Windows (with
GNUWin32 Ncurses).
fatresize offers a
command-line interface for
FAT16/
FAT32 non-destructive resize and uses the GNU Parted library.
tparted is the
TV/FV-based frontend for GNU Parted.
Graphical front-ends GParted is a graphical program using the parted libraries. It is adapted for
GNOME, one of the two major
desktop environments (the other being
KDE) for Unix-like installations. It is often included as utility on many
live CD distributions to make partitioning easier.
KDE Partition Manager is a
Qt graphical program, also included on many live CD distributions, which made use of parted libraries; in version 4.0 its backend KPMcore was ported away from libparted to sfdisk.
QtParted was another graphical front-end based on Qt that is no longer being actively maintained.
Pyparted (also called python-parted) is the
Python front-end for GNU Parted.
Linux distributions that come with parted by default include
Slackware,
Knoppix,
sidux,
SystemRescueCD,
Parted Magic, and
GParted Live. ==Limitations==
