I am not sure what you mean by optimization hdparm will allow you to control ATA/IDE disk parameters. Warning make a bootdisk before using. If you mean defragging

In Unix/Linux is there a need for Optimization and which are the best programs for this?

I come from a traditional Mac Background. I run a Mac Household. There optimizing really helped. The work I've done for clients (I am a Home Health Aide), using Windoze has shown me that they can do their optimizing without going to a Boot-Up Disk, unlike a Mac that can't do optimizing of a drive you boot from. I VAGUELY recall a Linux maven saying "Unix drive doesn't need optimizing they're swap disks are so efficient."

Now I've just done a job optimizing my Mac OS X G-4 and it worked out so well I'm eye-balling my SuSE 9.1 Laptop. It is quivering in anticipation.

My question is:

"Should I? And what program is best?"

Thanks

Hal
