Parted Magic is a commercial Linux distribution based on Slackware that comes with disk partitioning and data recovery tools.
[4][5][6] The distribution's nomenclature is derived from the names of the GNU Parted and PartitionMagic software packages.
[9] x86 versions from 2013_09_26 do not require the Physical Address Extension (PAE) computer processor feature.
[11] Up to version 2013.08.01 the distribution was freely available for download from the official website and the project page on SourceForge.
The distribution moved to a pay-for-download business model, despite the packaged software being free and open source.
