I haven't used it, but it should be a reasonably well-developed technology. I understand that it was released in OS/2 5.0 last spring. If so, it's probably the most mature journalistic filesystem for Linux.

About the comment that Stormix has "dumbed down" Linux:
1.) Stormix does provide defaults and GUIs for new users. However, the company's philosophy is to provide flexibility for the users who want it. You don't have to accept the defaults, or use the GUIs.
2.) GUIs on any operating system are useful for about 80% of what 80% of users do.
3.) In the Stormix manual, the shell is introduced with the comment that learning to use it is like learning to touch type: it takes longer to learn than any other method, but, once you do learn it, it is more efficient and convenient.

A new download version has been posted on the Stormix web site with FAT support already enabled.
Stormix also plans to post instructions on how to turn the sound off. Expect them in a week or two.

To answer your side-question:
Stormix Technologies plans to release Storm Linux and all its related tools, including the installer, under GPL.
