I've done it a few times; most recently, with my netbook (ok, it's got the
Ubuntu netbook remix on it, but I'm getting annoyed enough to maybe put
CentOS on - I like stability), and have never had a problem.

As I said, do the defrag, then yes, you *can* use Linux's fdisk, it's
perfectly fine with a DOS MBR, and won't break anything.
