I'm using kanotix 2005-03, and I finally got a copy of 2005-04 which I'm now going to install. You mentioned that reiser is known for getting corrupted, should I maybe choose another file system? When I get the mac I guess I'll put HFS+ on it - I'm assuming that's the mac native filesystem - but can I use that in linux? I mean now if I plug it into my linux laptop's usb connection. Apropos does turn up some HFS commands, including hformat. In another mac/linux compatability question, will I be able to sync the linux laptop and mac with rsync or another tool? rsync is what I've been using to backup my laptop to the hard drive.
