Speaking of Hard Drives, I have a Question. I saw on another Linux board that Linux works much faster (2x's) if you do a Low Level format before installing Linux. Has any body here done that? Can you do that type of format on a single partition or only the complete drive? Finally, do think it would really make a difference?

I'm guessing you have to do the complete drive, would take a very long time, its not recomended, and wouldn't make a (noticeable) difference.
