I don't think Partition Magic is free. The home page has a 'demo' which
shows you what it would do without actually doing it. Has anyone found a
(legal) download of PM?

Perfer C and GTK programming over C++ and Qt ? (was: [techtalk] Hi everybody!)

Why not tell us about your project idea and then let's find out which
toolkit would be the best to use?

Or do you have any political reasons to prefer GTK and C over Qt and C++ ?

The reason why I am asking that is my being a passionate C++ and Qt-Hacker.

I am sometimes kind of confused to see people prefer another toolkit: for
me Qt is the perfect solution for X or Windows programs.  :)

Greetings,

Karl-Heinz

The Windows setup will kill that nicely, no worries there!

I had the same problem once, but I just kept going back and forth (delete
dos partition, delete logical partition, delete dos partition, etc...) for
a little while, and then all of a sudden it worked. Hmm. Call it a
feature, I guess...

I still keep a fairly small windows partition. Just enough to play Diablo
II. :)
