Ask Alan Cox about that one

That is like asking Stallman about something. A lot of talk, but what is it really worth? Only the time you have wasted.

If it's what I'm thinking of he was on the money on this one. The ReiserFS team blows alot of smoke. It may be a good product now, but when I tried it back in the RedHat 7.? days, it had serious problems which the Reiser guys tried to pass off on everybody but themselves.

Alan Cox has always seemed like a straight shooter to me, maybe a little more political then I care for. What's your issue?

If you really want to learn Linux I think you should try Debian.

A nice installation tutorial.

I don't agree with his politics. Although I definitely insult him by comparing him to Stallman, and I am sorry for that.
