So far I've tried the Windows version on my win2k partitions, and it works great. Much faster than Norton's Speeddisk and it defragged to 0% fragmentation. I'm currently performing an install of Redhat 8, so won't be testing the Linux version for a little while yet, but I'll post the results when I do. Thanks for letting me know about this utility.
