If you need your computers to be stable, then there is no-one stopping you from using EXT3, which is rock solid. EXT4 is not the Jaunty default fs and warnings about EXT4 are clearly available in the release-notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904#Lock-ups%20when%20deleting%20files%20from%20ext4%20filesystems My advice: don't jump on EXT4 until Karmic.
