[newbie] Which File system?

[Aryan Ameri]

Hi there: Maybe It's an old question and man of you have seen similar questions. But I read the archive and couldn't make up my mind. I am a newbie to Linux and am willing to buy Mandrake Linux 8.2. But I don't know what file system to use. I am willing to install my Linux on my desktop computer. I don't want it to be secure. nor I want it to give me back up options, nor do I use RAID. I just want the fastest File system and I want it to be stable enough ( not that much stable, any thing more stable than FAT will suite me). If possible please also give me a list of File systems that are available with version 8.2 and please tell me which one best suit my needs. Linux Registered user # 266090 Aryan
