my $.02 reiserfs is, imho, the best filesystem for linux - both for performance for reliability. i've managed it on literally thousands of disks, and reiserfs is one of the main reason i run linux over BSD for servers. YMMV.
but if you are new, and just using your linux install for school project, it doesnt matter which filesystem you choose - ext2 will be the easiest, and it'll be just fine.
