Of course:

But cfdisk and parted are also commonly used:

If you have a GUI (window manager or desktop environment) you can also use GParted (the Gnome PARTition EDitor). It runs inside Linux, but there are also separate boot images for CD/DVD/USB, so it's good even for partitioning Windows systems (or dual/triple/quadruple-boots). It's the most reliable partitioning program I've ever used.

I would agree! But (most versions of) Puppy works as a single user operating system, and seems to have come to no harm over the years. Search this area - if you're interested!

Not for everyone, though...

No need it's built in depending on what DE you use, for example here with KDE, equivalent in Gnome is connect to server:
