Please don't top-post Wally.
Others have already pointed out requirement and license problems. I've
used the product in that past and can't recommend it over a score of
Open Source Windows tools - unless marketing expediture counts.
That's not to say some Debian users wouldn't find it useful under
limited circumstances - as it lacks support for xfs, ext4, reiser, jfs,
and btrfs.
