HDD Format

KnownAsCJ

Newbie
I'm eagerly awaiting for my brand new Vu+ Duo2 box being delivered today, pre loaded with latest Vix of course. I spec'd no HDD as I have a spare 500gb that I can use for the time being and upgrade at a later date to a 2tb.

I just want to know if the drive will format once inserted and 1st booted or can/should I pre format? If so which file system should be used. I've read about USB sticks to be Fat32 formatted but was wondering as its a Linux system if it would be better to format in Ext4? I also read that the Duo2 doesn't need a swap file as it can actually slow the system down?

Any help, advise or thoughts most welcome...

Just plug it into the box and then initialise it and mount it in the device
manager menu it will overwrite anything on the Hdd anyway.
