The CD aims to be fast, small in size, and use minimal resources to get that disk partitioned the way you want it. GParted LiveCD is based on Slackware Linux and uses Xfree86's Xvesa, the lightweight Xfce desktop environment, and the lastest 2.6 Linux Kernel.

This release finally contains detailed progressfeedback which let you monitor every

what's actually taking so much time ;)

The preferences program now supports LCD brightness, and works with gnome-screensaver to set the DPMS timeout for monitors.

The website has been updated with a new design with lots more content.

*WARNING* - this program depends on new DBUS and HAL libraries to install, due to the recent changes in HAL. See the new FAQ page for more details.

GNOME Power Manager - 0.0.3

Mon, 18 Apr 2005 11:33:07 -0400

GNOME Power Manager is a GNOME session daemon that acts as a policy agent on top of the Project Utopia stack. GNOME Power Manager listens for HAL events and responds with user-configurable reactions.

Today I released a GNOME Power Manager 0.0.3 with lots of bugfixes, new features, a new preferences program and lots more. This new version supports wireless mice and keyboards, pda's and the usual laptop batteries...

The website has been greatly updated and contains lots of new screenshots.

GNOME Power Manager project gets underway

Thu, 24 Mar 2005 11:34:35 -0500

GNOME Power Manager is a GNOME session daemon that acts as a policy agent on top of the Project Utopia stack, which includes the kernel, hotplug, udev, and HAL. GNOME Power Manager listens for HAL events and responds with user-configurable reactions. Currently it supports UPS's, laptop batteries and AC adaptors. Its goal is to be architecture neutral and free of polling and other hacks.

Linux power management on laptops sucks. Project Utopia is all about making things "Just Work" and that's how power-management should be.

The site can be found here with lots of screenshots.

GParted 0.0.7

Mon, 06 Dec 2004 01:01:41 -0500

gparted-0.0.7 is finally here. It took some time, because i had to rewrite a lot of code.
Every filesystem now has its own class and is responsible for its own creation, resizing etc..
This makes it very easy to add more filesystems to gparted and that's what we all want :)

Because the ext2/3 code of libparted was slightly outdated and sometimes caused trouble gparted now uses the e2fstools to handle them. Same goes for reiserfs, you now need the official tools from namesys to handle reiserfs partitions.

In short:
- improved support for ext2/3 and reiserfs
- added full support for ntfs
- many addition and improvements
