Thanks for the replies so far. Don't want to start a war, but I'd like to hear about your filesystem suggestions....:^) Seriously thinking of going with Reiser4. I've been a fan of Reiser3.6 for quite a while now. Now that I finally managed to find the pure patch against various kernel.org http://chichkin_i.zelnet.ru/namesys/ Of course you gotta use lilo to boot Reiser4, which is fine with me. Truly have found ext3 to be ho-hum, but I guess that's the point....;^) Chris W. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
