So the Mac HFS file system that is on X is better than the previous versions on older macs? Or is it the Unix file system that you can choose as well under OSX that is superior and doesnt need defragging? Im confused. What would happen if I format my mac HD to the Unix structure wil all native x apps still work on it?

HFS+ (the standard, default, and recommended filesystem for Mac OS X) is just as susceptible to fragmentation as it was on Mac OS 9. Files become fragmented and free space becomes fragmented just the same under Mac OS X as under Classic Mac OS.

I beleive you can burn multi-session CD-s already in 10.2 but you have to use Disk Copy to do it. There's a KB article around somewhere

This is a common misconception.
