I'm glad someone mentioned mandrake. One of my friends, who knows nothing about computers, wanted a dual boot Windows Linux system. She had recently bought an ex-lease laptop, and it came with windows 98. Unfortunately the suppliers had forgotten to give her a copy of the windows 98 disk. She just wanted to play frozen-bubble :) Anyway, we grabbed a copy of Mandrake from e-caf, and Mandrake resized the Windows partition without a problem. I was quite impressed.
