I could convert them now to ext3. I was wondering whether there are tangible advantages to ext3 for a typical desktop user.
Yes, there are: journalling, i.e. ext3 keeps track of what data you have on your disks, and where it is. which really helps in case of crash or power outage. I personally use ReiserFS which, in my experience, is even faster and superior in the recovery after a power outage (something which happens often in Florida). BTW there are other journalling file systems out there. I would definitely switch over the ext3, ReiserFS or any other, it makes your disks much safer. _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
