Patrick Verner announced a couple of days ago, October 10th, the immediate availability for download of the Parted Magic 2012_10_10 Linux operating system for partitioning tasks.

Parted Magic 2012_10_10 includes the recently released GParted 0.14.0 application with support for LVM, Mesa 9.0, XOrg Server 1.13.0 with all x86-video packages, Linux kernel 3.5 with Reiser4 patches, and a large number of updates.

"I noticed some Reiser4 patches for the 3.5 kernel so it was included again. The reiser4progs package was patched to work with Gparted and the 3.x kernels."

"Rdesktop was removed in favor of FreeRDP and it's GUI Remmina. Two plugins were added to SpaceFM so you can mount SAMBA shares and use ClamAV directly from the file manager." Patrick Verner said in the official release announcement.
