As has been mentioned previously, you need to resize the file system as
Partition Magic will not. The command line utility is: resize2fs.

I have found that QTParted tends to work in a similar manner to
Partition Magic. QTParted uses GNUParted. You can boot a Knoppix live
CD and run QTParted, or you can download the GParted Live CD if
partitioning is all you want. http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php

The YaST partitioner works, but I have found some issues with it. I
prefer to run a live CD to ensure that none of the partitions are being
used. One word of caution, some live CDs, such as Knoppix will use a
swap partition on the HD if there is one, but you can always turn that
off.
