========================
The principal "benefit" of the ReiserFS is that it is a journaling file
system. I believe it is much less susceptible to problems if inproperly
shutdown. There is another file system being worked on called ext3 that I
believe will be a journaling file system also. Some time duirng the 2.4.x
kernel one of these (or another journaling file system) might become the
default of recommended, instead of ext2. for now, I use ext2 for my Linux
boxen.
