Which flavour of GNU/Linux supports resizing Windows partitions. I am familiar with lubuntu....
I am running a dual boot system with a P.C. Tower case and two hard drives. I am thinking about buying a laptop with a single hard drive and therefore I will need to either re-size the windows partition or install GNU/Linux and then reinstall Windows 8 off of a CD-ROM.
