Hi all,
It's one of those questions that comes up quite often, and most people
don't seem to get an answer more satisfactory than "Linux is better
and doesn't fragment"
So I had a bash at trying to give an answer that explained exactly why
we don't need a defrag, but without getting so long or technical that
a new user would give up before they got halfway.

I *think* I got the basic details right, but I'm not absolutely sure,
so any feedback would be appreciated.
Cheers
Dominic
