Personally I'm not a big fan of the ext2fs, a couple of times I've suffered a 
power outaged that has resulted in a partition being corrupted so badly that 
I had to abandon it and make a new file system.

I wonder if this journalling file system from Suse (Reiser?) is any better. I 
don't care too much about losing data but I do want the integrity of my 
partitions to be maintained even in the event of a power outage.

Yes, html is on by default at the moment, but 'remote' images seem to be 
disabled, so no cookie problems here.

BFN,
Don.
