Today, October 16, 2016, 4MLinux developer Zbigniew Konojacki informs Softpedia about the release and immediate availability of the Beta pre-release version of the upcoming 4MParted 20.0 Live CD.

Based on the 4MLinux 20.0 operating system, which is also in the Beta stages of development, the 4MParted 20.0 disk partitioning Live CD is built around the popular and open-source GParted 0.26.1 graphical partition editor utility, which right now is the best tool for formatting, resizing, splitting, and joining disk partitions of any type.

"4MParted is a very small live CD designed for disk partitioning. It's a part of 4MRescueKit, which in turn is one of the three main 4MLinux releases available for download," says Zbigniew Konojacki in today's release announcement. "This version includes Gparted 0.26.1 and it uses 4MLinux 20.0 as the base system."

Best of all, users can use the 4MParted Live CD independently of the operating system installed on the target computer where they will attempt to re-partition the disk, similar to the GParted Live CD, but shipping with some more up-to-date GNU/Linux technologies that are present in the upcoming 4MLinux 20.0 release.

The final release of 4MParted 20.0 will be unveiled in November, after the launch of 4MLinux 20.0. Until then, you can now download the Beta version from our website if you want an early taste, but please don't use it in production environments, for any type of disk partitioning operation, as it might contain bugs.
