Hi, Do you have to defragment and clean up a hard drive in Ubuntu Linux like you do with Windoze? As i can't find anything that looks like it at present.

No, not really. In fact, you don't really need to do that in Windows XP with the NTFS filesystem, anymore. It's a hangover from the Windows 9x FAT32 days ...
WHAT??!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, massive disagreement from here... NTFS fragments dreadfully, take a look after a defrag, then say, install MS Office, then take another look.
Cheers, Laurie.
