I'd really like to have a good USB key to boot from when some kind of problem happens.
As was mentioned you can use a live CD/DVD. I use Linux Mint (although I'm thinking of moving to Debian testing) but it has the same issue that Fedora and other live images have and that is it doesn't have gparted. If you have an Internet connection it is a simple "apt get" away. One other option is to use Hiren's. The version I originally had booted in to a text only display and included lots of useful programs and tools for examining and fixing a machine. It has been updated to boot in to a graphical environment now. I don't know how current it is. You can find it at https://www.hirensbootcd.org/. -- Cheers!
