Free Partition utilities?

I finally got Linux and now I need to find some sort of partition software. I have zero cash and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions.

I've used Ranish and it has worked pretty well. I'm afraid there hasn't been a new version in awhile though... Not sure if that makes a difference for you or not.

www.ranish.com

I'm sure someone else has a suggsetion too... One that might be newer and better.

What Linux distro is it? All the new userfriendly ones come with an installer that slices, dices and resizes all your partitions.

It is a redhat version. I got it with a book I bought. Flipping through the instructions it said I needed a partition program since it is nfts.

If it is RedHat then yes, you need a special program to resize NTFS. The only free tool I know of is ntfsresize from the Linux NTFS project. I would imagine you can find it on the latest Knoppix or INSERT CDs.
