Re: Different file systems during installation.

There isn't a universal answer to that one. If you're a guy with a laptop, probably it's ext3. Desktops can choose ext3, reiserfs, or xfs. Servers tend toward reiserfs and xfs. I have a big desktop rig with 5 hard drives, and am running xfs except for a certain non-*buntu distro that does not offer that installation option, so that one is on reiserfs.

In the first post on this thread are links to interesting reading on the topic.
