Hi Paul, Grant, please bear with me... RE: (B) ReiserFS is great Agreed. _BUT_, since you are relatively new to Linux, I would personally recommend EXT3. The journaling is much more stable and reliable, which is essential if you are new and experimenting a bit on your new box. Just my $0.05 (inflation during war times)... ReiserFS4 is a higher performance FS than EXT3, and will give you a better presentation on the desktop with low end systems, and generally better handling of disk I/O on any system. EXT3 is better suited to handle the unexpected in your filesystem, which you are more likely to incur while exploring the capabilities and nuances of Linux. Once you are comfortable with your Linux environment and have a higher level of confidence in your low level handy work, then move to a higher performance FS like Reiser. - Colin -- # emerge freedom # emerge religion # emerge war Segmentation fault. : war illegally accessed religion at memory address 0x077A (1914), 0x0793 (1939), 0x07D5 (2005). religion terminated to prevent kernel panic. : freedom process has been backgrounded and scheduled for termination during next scheduler cycle. _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
