I'm only gonna attempt to partially answer your questions since I
have a single user desktop system, and yours is evidently more than
that.

Reiser is still beta. I've been using it since 7.2beta3, now on
8.0 with no problems running 24/7 since last September when I switched
from ext2.

Does here. I have a 250mb /swap and the rest of the 8g drive is all
in one big / formatted ReiserFS. I haven't seen complaints anywhere
about Reiser not getting along with either swap or ext2

Here's where I have to drop out. I dual boot W98 (fat32)/Mandrake.
Billy hasn't gotten any money from me since W98 (and he didn't then
either, or for W95 for that matter ;)
I'd say you be much better off asking these questions on the expert
or cooker mailing lists. Searching the linux-kernel archive might also
be a good idea. I lurked there a few months ago for awhile, and there
was much ReiserFS discussion.
