Well, I decided to go with ReiserFS. Ext3fs just sorta seems like a hack
to ext2 to get journaling. I also heard that ext3 is pretty slow
compared to reiser, and they are both very reliable. However, XFS looks
really slick. It says it uses ACL's. Are these somewhat like NT style
ACL'L, where you

You could, I suppose, look at it one of two ways:
* ext3 is a hack on an old system
* ext2 was designed as an extensible, modular file system
Actually...reiserfs was not originally designed as a journaling file
system. It was a file system (without journaling) that sped up access
to small files.
So, both filesystems have had journaling added after they were
initially written.

Hi,
I would use ext3, it is the x years old ext2 filesystem with the journaling
feature. It's very stable and compatible to ext2, so if you have any crash
it's easier to fix.
ReiserFS is faster but not stable enough to use it at important functions.
But if you want setup a Proxy i would recommed
A lot of it depends on how adventuresome you are, and what you are running
on it.
For my purposes, ReiserFS has run well. The only times I've had problems
were with underlying IDE problems, or when an immature, buggy, driver
overwrote freed memory. But there have been some reports of problems
