A single / partition makes it simple, which is great for testing, but if you plan on keeping the install around for awhile, definitely partition more. At least /usr should have its own, if not /var and /home.

There are a few kernel updates in 2.6.5 (in Release Candidate right now) for ReiserFS. Ext3 is more actively supported (er, fixed?) in the kernel since it's not run by any one company (www.namesys.com) -- at least this is my perception. Correct me if I'm wrong.
