OK, to do XFS you need an XFS patched kernel (see http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs) Then you have to make a partition for the filesystem, and I think you'd need xfsprogs for xfs, reiserfsprogs for ReiserFS (namesys.com I think). Then you can copy files over, and you'll have a new filesystem. Personally, I'd go XFS, unless you can wait until the next version of reiserfs, Reiser4 is released.
