The only shortcoming I've run across is fdisk is less capable than gdisk with hybrid MBRs and can't do GPT->MBR conversion at all. The former is not something a Beginner's Guide user should be touching, in my opinion; the latter may be useful for those who accidentally create GPT disks when they need an MBR instead.
gdisk is also capable of placing new partitions at the end of a block of empty space without having to do manual calcuation of the start sector. I personally find this behavior invaluable. -- David J. Haines djhaines@gmx.com 0xAFB3D16D - F929 270F B7C3 78AE A741 434F A7C6 F264 AFB3 D16C
