Hi from Adam.

Well, you use ext2 and you have the closest to NTFS. I am now so used to ReiserFS that I enjoy the quick DiskScan during periodic boots.

You know you gotta let it go. I did with SuSe 9.2 and I haven't gone back. I hate it when I have to do firmwire updates that I have to run XP BUT now I occasionally do that now.

Out of two laptops and one desktop, two are SUSE one is legacy XP and I boot it once a year for the occasional minor chore.

It also helps to run with the biggest disk you can afford (on mine, 2 80Gig laptop drives) and a few old ones I keep the backups in USB enclosures.
