####G Parted Partition Manager
Gparted သည္ Hard Drive Partitions ခြဲရာတြင္ အသံုးျပဳႏိုင္ေသာ GTK(Gnome) အေျချပဳ ေဆာ့လ္၀ဲ တစ္ခုျဖစ္ပါသည္။ KDE တြင္လည္း အသံုးျပဳႏိုင္ပါသည္။
-ဤေဆာ့လ္၀ဲကို LiveCD ေပၚမွ အသံုးျပဳပါက အေကာင္းဆံုးျဖစ္ပါသည္။ ေနာက္ပိုင္းထြက္ရွိေသာ Ubuntu LiveCD မ်ားတြင္ GParted ေဆာ့လ္၀ဲကို ထည့္သြင္းထားၿပီးျဖစ္သည္။ Ubuntu ကို စက္ထဲတြင္ Install မလုပ္ဘဲ၊ CD မွ တိုက္ရိုက္ အသံုးျပဳၿပီး GParted ကို စတင္ႏုိင္ပါသည္။]

##System Backup and Recovery
####System Rescue and Cloning Utilities
#####System Rescue CD
SystemRescueCD is a LiveCD that includes important utilities such as GParted,Partimage,ddrescue, Rsync , and FSArchiver. Several of these utilities cannot be used from within a running partition, so using them from a LiveCD is often necessary. Download and burn the LiveCD from the website.
#####Clonezilla
Clonezillaallows the backup or duplication of a partition for a single machine or for multiple machines over a network. (It is similar to North Ghost.)It includes Partimage, partclone,and other utilities.It is available here as a LiveCD which can then be burned.(A serious limitation of Clonezilla is its inability to backup/restore split image files to/from multiple media (e.g.spanned DVDs/CDs),limiting its usefulness as an inexpensive cloning and distribution solution.Partition image backup/restoration must be to/from a single hard drive,large capacity USB stick,or networked storage space)
####Disk Imaging software
G4U is a utility to image a disk bit by bit.
G4L is a utility to image a disk bit by bit.It inkcludes a GUI interface.
####Ubuntu Customization Kit
Ubuntu Customization Kit is a utility to customize a (K) Ubuntu LiveCD.Install:
sudo apt-get install uck
####Remastering software
Debian and (K) Ubuntu Linux operating systems can be remastered and customized (using one of a number off utilities) for re-distribution.See this Wikipedia list for distribution among its members,while preserving the intrinsic architecture and function of (K)Ubuntu.The customized (K) Ubuntu OS can than be distributed on a CD or a USB flashdrive. Users are then free to futher customize the OS,or even to revent back to the original default(K) settings. Also see the Ubuntu wiki.

Run Ubuntu LiveCD from a USB pendrive
The Ubuntu LiveCD can be installed on and run from a USB pendrive. Settings ca be persistently saved (but the LiveCD kerned modules can not be upgraded). Programs can be installed and run,however ,and files saved to the USB drive. (The installed programs will remain installed). An Ubuntu Live CD is needed to do the installation. For additional info, see the Ubuntu Community documentation or the Pendrivelinux instructions.
The USB LiveCD can be used to install Ubuntu on computers (including netbooks) that do not have CD-ROM/DBD drives.
USB pendrives to be used to run Ubuntu should have a minimum of 2 Gb(preferably 4 Gb).If you wish to install a fast, fully functional Linux system on a pendrive that has less memory than that, use PuppyLinux or Lubuntu.
