if you either create fresh 3.6 partitions or convert 3.5 to 3.6, you won't be able to install or update your system from a SuSE Linux 7.1 CD and you can't use the rescue disk from the CD. This because 7.1 uses kernel 2.2 in all boot images and thus can't handle reiserFS 3.6 partitions.
As SuSE Linux 7.2 will most probably use kernel 2.4 by default, this problem will vanish.
The above is a show stopper if one wants to run ReiserFS so it looks like I'll wait until 7.2 to upgrade. But by then I'll probably be running Mac OS X on the desktop and continuing with OpenBSD on the server. Greg http://www.2fortheroad.net
