Ok, I can already hear the Trolls arguing which FS is superior.
Personally I'd say that it depends and it is not the point asking whether one should use ReiserFS, ext3 or XFS.
Personally I've been using ReiserFS for ages without ANY problems at all on a number of systems running SuSE, Mandrake 8 and recently on RedHat 7 and 7.1. Over the time I've been more than satisfied with the results I got regarding speed, stability and so on.
But personally I'd really like to be able to freely choose which FS to use - I really can't understand why especially redhat was ignoring ReiserFS all the time, claiming (IMHO you can't otherwise say so!) it was "unstable". This must be some kind of weird "political" or strategic question.
So my 2c: at least leave the average user the ability to choose his preferred filesystem in Distro setups and don't just simply stick to one and ignore the others as if they wouldn't exist- nobody will complain if it's set to ext3 by default for beginners.;)

Just to mention Argus Pitbull / Pitbull LX from Argus which is also available for Linux...
;)
;)
And... no I'm in no way affiliated with them...
But I have to admit I attended an Argus Pitbull Training.
