Hello,
I'm (re)writing the Partition HOWTO and I notice
(http://wiki.tldp.org/Partition-Mass-Storage-Tools-HOWTO#fdisk):

¨There are at least three nearly identical fdisk on Linux, GNU fdisk
(http://www.gnu.org/software/fdisk/), based on parted, the kernel
fdisk with no home page but a ftp
(ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/) and a fork
util-linux-ng (http://userweb.kernel.org/~kzak/util-linux-ng/). ¨

I noticed that openSUSE one is the ¨ng¨ flavor. May I ask what did
make the choice? Do somebody knows why there are so many fdisk on the
beginning?

fdisk -v
fdisk (util-linux-ng 2.14.1)


thanks
jdd
