Free partitioning software for linux

Partition Image application is a Linux/UNIX utility which saves partitions in many formats (see below) to an image file.
The image file can be compressed in the GZIP/BZIP2 formats to save disk space, and split into multiple files to be copied on removable floppies (ZIP for example); partitions can be saved across the network since version 0.6.0.
Partition Image will only copy data from the used portions of the partition. For speed and efficiency, free blocks are not written to the image file.
This is unlike the dd command, which also copies empty blocks. Partition Image also works for large, very full partitions. For example, a full 1 GB partition can be compressed with gzip down to 400MB.
This is very useful to save partitions to an image in some cases:
- First you can restore your linux partition if there is a problem (virus, file system errors, manipulation error) . When you have a problem, you just have to restore the partition, and after 10 minutes, you have the original partition. You can write the image to a CD-R if you dont want the image to use hard-disk space.
- This utility can be used to install many identical PCs. For example, if you buy 50 PCs, with the same hardware, and you want to install the same linux systems on all 50 PCs, you will save a lot of time. Indeed, you just have to install on the first PC and create an image from it. For the 49 others, you can use the image file and Partition Images restore function.

Set::Partition is a Perl module that can enumerate all arrangements of a set in fixed subsets.

SYNOPSIS

use Set::Partition;

my $s = Set::Partition->new(
list => [qw(a b c d e)],
partition => [2, 3],
);
while (my $p = $s->next) {
print join( , map { "(@$_)" } @$p ), $/;
}
# produces
(a b) (c d e)
(a c) (b d e)
(a d) (b c e)
(a e) (b c d)
(b c) (a d e)
(b d) (a c e)
(b e) (a c d)
(c d) (a b e)
(c e) (a b d)
(d e) (a b c)

# or with a hash
my $s = Set::Partition->new(
list => { b => bat, c => cat, d => dog },
partition => [2, 1],
);
while (my $p = $s->next) {
...
}

Set::Partition takes a list or hash of elements and a list numbers that represent the sizes of the partitions into which the list of elements should be arranged.
The resulting object can then be used as an iterator which returns a reference to an array of lists, that represents the original list arranged according to the given partitioning. All possible arrangements are returned, and the object returns undef when the entire combination space has been exhausted.

Gpart is a tool which tries to guess the primary partition table of a PC-type hard disk in case the primary partition table in sector 0 is damaged, incorrect or deleted. The guessed table can be written to a file or device. Supported (guessable) filesystem or partition types by Gpart are:
- DOS/Windows FAT (FAT 12/16/32)
- Linux ext2
- Linux swap partitions versions 0 and 1 (Linux >= v2.2.X)
- OS/2 HPFS
- Windows NT/2000 FS
- *BSD disklabels
- Solaris/x86 disklabels
- Minix FS
- Reiser FS
- Linux LVM physical volume module (LVM by Heinz Mauelshagen)
- SGI XFS on Linux
- BeOS filesystem
- QNX 4.x filesystem
Enhancements:
- New support for the following filesystems: BeOS, QNX 4.x & SGI XFS.
- Updated Reiser filesystem support (Francis Devereux).
- Updated LVM support.
- Several small fixes from contributors.

Hikarunix linux is a Live Linux CD distribution. Any PC that can boot to CD can boot to Hikarunix instead of the computers regular operating system. Since it boots entirely in RAM and only borrows the peripherals, Hikarunix doesnt touch the host machine at all.
Shut the machine down, pop the CD out, reboot and youll find yourself back with the same old OS that you started with. No installation or partitioning necessary. The fact that it fits on a pocket sized miniCD and can boot on just about any machine makes it extremely portable. Internet cafes, Library computers, a borrowed laptop can all be your personal, temporary Go workstation. If you wish you can also install it to your harddrive.
The name was inspired by the Japanese manga and anime series Hikaru No Go. Its about the world of Professional Go as seen by Junior High School student Hikaru and his ghost Go mentor Sai. Its a lot better then I make it sound, besides, admit it, reading comics is still fun. Pick up a copy of the English translation of the comic here.
Hikarunix itself and any additions Ive made are covered by the GNU General Public License, although the individual packages installed in Hikarunix retain their original licenses. This means that Hikarunix is entirely free. Feel welcome to make copies for your friends, family and co-workers, start a Go club and hand it out to all members. I put this CD together to open this great game to a wider audience, so the more copies that are out there the better.
Hikarunix will always be free, but if youd like to contribute to the cause you might consider donating to the project. You can also pick up an "official" miniCD, a Hikarunix USB drive, or a plethora of mugs and tshirts from our store. I also an just a beginner at Go and am still terrible at the game. If anyone would like to donate a Go lesson I can be found on most Go servers as t1ckt0ck.

Statistics::CalinskiHarabasz is a Perl extension to the cluster stopping rule proposed by Calinski and Harabasz (C&H).

SYNOPSIS

use Statistics::CalinskiHarabasz;
&ch(InputFile, "agglo", 10);

Input file is expected in the "dense" format -
Sample Input file:

6 5
1 1 0 0 1
1 0 0 0 0
1 1 0 0 1
1 1 0 0 1
1 0 0 0 1
1 1 0 0 1

C&H use the Variance Ratio Criterion which is analogous to F-Statistics to estimate the number of clusters a given data naturally falls into. They minimize Within Cluster/Group Sum of Squares (WGSS) and maximize Between Cluster/Group Sum of Squares (BGSS)

EXPORT

"ch" function by default.

INPUT

InputFile

The input dataset is expected in "dense" matrix format. The input dense matrix is expected in a plain text file where the first line in the file gives the dimensions of the dataset and then the dataset in a matrix format should follow. The contexts / observations should be along the rows and the features should be along the column.

eg:
6 5
1 1 0 0 1
1 0 0 0 0
1 1 0 0 1
1 1 0 0 1
1 0 0 0 1
1 1 0 0 1

The first line (6 5) gives the number of rows (observations) and the number of columns (features) present in the following matrix. Following each line records the frequency of occurrence of the feature at the column in the given observation. Thus features1 (1st column) occurs once in the observation1 and infact once in all the other observations too while the feature3 does not occur in observation1.

ClusteringMethod

The Clustering Measures that can be used are: 1. rb - Repeated Bisections [Default] 2. rbr - Repeated Bisections for by k-way refinement 3. direct - Direct k-way clustering 4. agglo - Agglomerative clustering 5. graph - Graph partitioning-based clustering 6. bagglo - Partitional biased Agglomerative clustering

K value

This is an approximate upper bound for the number of clusters that may be present in the dataset. Thus for a dataset that you expect to be seperated into 3 clusters this value should be set some integer value greater than 3.

OUTPUT

A single integer number which is the estimate of number of clusters present in the input dataset.

GParted stands for Gnome Partition Editor.

GParted project uses libparted to detect and manipulate devices and partitiontables while several (optional) filesystemtools provide support for filesystems not included in libparted.

These optional packages will be detected at runtime and dont require a rebuild of GParted.

GParted is written in C++ and uses gtkmm as Graphical Toolkit. The general approach is to keep the GUI as simple as possible. Thats why i try to conform to the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines.

GParted comes under the terms of the General Public License.
