Ummm no.  Linux isnt for the weak!  <grin>  Seriously tho... there is an
option in fdisk ("l" I think) that will list all the partition types that
fdisk will set.

All have a type number, AND a name.  So, you can look for Linux and see
that it is type 83, or linux swap == 82, linux extended == 85, linux lvm
== 8e, etc etc etc.

I dont know if there are any gui tools to do this, There prolly are, but
i usually dont trust GUI tools to do important system things like this.
But you could prolly check freshmeat.net for something that will do it for
you from X.

Cheers
