Hi Hendrik and Jeremy Last night I installed the Squeeze version at home. I had a false start due to my impatience. When I told it to use a 460gig drive, the ext3 format started. After 5 minutes, since I could not see flashing lights, I rebooted, and tried again. This time I gave it more time and suddenly after the format, I was able to continue successfully. My first opinions are that Fedora 14 is probably better than Debian Squeeze. At least with F14, Ext4 is supported out of the box. Gnome differences were interesting. I used alacarte from a command line to edit the menus. sudo is differently managed, and finally, After implementing sudo, I could not find how to get a command line prompt without ending up in a root terminal. (Alt-f1 to alt-f5) was the way I did get user terminal. As I did not spend a lot of time with Debian, I am elucidating my first impressions.

Does it support (Out of the > box, EXT4?) At the moment, yes. squeeze is testing. IN a few months, squeeze will finish freezing, it will be stable, and there'll be a new name for testing, which in a year or two willbecome stable, and so forth. I don't know if it supports ext4 out of the box. It probebly does, except maybe for partitions containing boot-time stuff. I'm still using ext3. I'm rather conservative about jumping to new file systems. -- hendrik
