Can't help you with JFS, but I'm an EXT3 fan. Many of my correspondents on the linux-users list prefer XFS over anything else, but it's not available without getting patches until 2.6 (there are plans to merge it into 2.4), I just completed a reiserfs install on a SUSE system and found the journal trashed a couple of days later, so I've written that one off. Unless you are putting up a heavy duty server, I don't think you'll notice a real speed difference with any of these fs. I've used EXT3 almost since its beginning without any problems. Enjoy your new machine. -- Collins -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
