Re: [EXPIRED] Giving Away 2 "Manage Partitions with GParted How-to" Books

I would like a book to be resourceful and knowledgeable in my usage of GParted.  I've used the program many times for partitioning.  I've gone so far as to use it on USB pen drives, as part of Linux distributions, both installed and Live versions.  GParted is my go to application for getting my partitioning and formatting accomplished.  It's solid and rocks.  Winning the book would help me organize data drives effectively.  Thanks!

I've just started using GParted, so am still somewhat in the dark. As I'm in the learning stages, a book would be very helpful.
Thanks, Steve
