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.
