I'd really like to see a Mandrake official recomendation for the default file system. I have seen the .kde/*rc files corruption but was not aware that it was directly attributable to Reiser. If this is indeed the case I will be converting back to ext2/3. I do however find Reiser quite fast in general use, especially when deleting directories with large numbers of files. -- John Allen, Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
