Good points. It seems these two are starting to become more standard now
(for local storage). GPT is a replacement for the traditional Master Boot
Record (MBR) and can be a requirement for machines with the UEFI replacement
for BIOS.
I'm dealing with the PITA of attempting to dual boot (Win7+Linux) a UEFI/GPT
setup at home. Grrrrr. But parted seems to be ready for it, whereas the
more familiar (to me) fdisk isn't.
