Is Parted Magic an OS


I could use some Linux disk utilities on my CentOS 6.3 system.

I looked at Parted Magic but couldn't understand whether it is a full Linux Destro or to be loaded down in ISO format as an image with only disk utilities.

Thanks

I think you can get a live cd/pxe boot sort of deal that has parted magic. I see now they actually call it an OS.

The parts of it can be or usually can be added to RH. Gparted might be added from rpm.
" Parted Magic OS employs core programs of GParted and Parted"
"featuring other useful software "

The reason parted magic is useful is because you generally don't want to fool with a mounted partition, where a live cd booted will allow you to work with disks that include boot disks.
