Defragging?

[manic111]

Do you need to defragment when using Linux, or are files stored in a way that renders it unnecessary?

If you do need to, can somebody recommend me a program to do it with? Is there a terminal command that can do it? I'm running Linux Mint 5 (basically Ubuntu 8.04).

Heehee, yay!

Why doesn't MS update NTFS to where it doesn't need defraging?

Because they have an annoying tendancy to build new versions of Windows over the core of older Windows, meaning that the file format, registry etc remains much the same.
