I thought that defragging was reasonably irrelevant on NTFS like ext2/3
because of the way they work.

NTFS Needs a regular defrag just like Fat did. WinXP comes with a really bad
defrag util as part of the system tools. (right click drive properties
tools as always). It may fragment abit slower than fat did but it still
fragments alot especially if you install and uninstall alot of stuff.
Jason, could I clarify: do you mean that Mandrake can do a
non-destructive resizing of an existing partition as part of an
installation?
I'm asking because I have some Mandrake disks here and wanted to put
linux on my laptop too, but am too lazy to set up windows again. I don't
have any
