I recently read somewhere -- may have been the Debian Guide -- that
cfdisk is recommended over fdisk. Apparently in a few cases fdisk gets
partition boundaries wrong, whereas cfdisk doesn't. I wouldn't be too
scared about that ... I've been using Linux fdisk for 5 years and have
never had problems with it, nor has anybody I know (except for those
horrible failing-to-think kind of problems). But I thought it was
worth mentioning.
