Yes, you can. ext3 is ext2 with a journal stuck in (and some driver improvements, I believe), so you just tune2fs it (-j option, IIRC) and mod your /etc/fstab Do a google for it, to make sure (I went ext2-reiserfs-ext3 so I didn't get to play with tune2fs) but it should be fairly easy.

Kind of like the Amish, except that our religion requires us to use _higher_ technology than everyone else. -- Donald B. Marti Jr.
