), but I plan to before the month is up. I've only had one problem with ext3 in the five years I've been a Linux user, and that was when I had to format an 80 GB drive. It was taking forever, so I killed the operation and formatted with reiserfs instead. Reiserfs installed tout suite. I've never had any trouble with reiserfs on any size of partition on a laptop or desktop ever. So, IMHO, ext3 is OK on smaller partitions and reiserfs is OK on everything, but reading the article above will offer a broader perspective than mine alone.
