Partition Magic v3 could identify linux ext2 and swap partitions 
but it could not move, resize or otherwise manipulate them.  It 
did support FAT32 but not FAT32x.  Partition Magic v4 supports 
all of these.  If you doen't need FAT32x or ext2 support, 
Partition Magic v3 is an excellent buy.  Surplus Direct used to 
sell it for US$15 with a US$15 rebate coupon from Powerquest so 
you could get it for the price of the shipping.
