I haven't done it yet, but I would go with ext3 because there is a program that runs in MS Windows that can access ext2, and I have been told that it works with ext3. Many of us will be stuck with MS for a while yet. Program is called called explore2fs. With it, you can access your Linux directory from Windows, copy files, etc. If you don't care, then I have no other recommendation. --doug
You could argue that as a bad thing. Security reasons, y'know?
However, ReiserFS is a *far* faster filesystem. Your system's performance will noticeably improve.
If accessing the partitions from Windows is important, you can get a program called rfstool at http://p-nand-q.com/reiser4win.htm

Thanks guys, I knew about the ext2 windows proggy, and as I said previously I don't run windows... at all... but it's interesting to see that there is now a reiser one also... I think I will stick with ReiserFS over ext3 for 2 reasons. a) I have used it extensively and had very little trouble with it. b) I have not heard any reasons NOT to use it.. -- Viel Spaß Peter Nixon - nix@susesecurity.com SuSE Security FAQ Maintainer http://www.susesecurity.com/faq/ "If you think cryptography will solve the problem, then you don't understand cryptography and you don't understand your problem."
