Maybe there is some coolness factor to having the faster FS that you can't get from any Distro that is enough to overcome the hassle of compiling reiser4progs and a kernel before inserting the DVD. I would not have guessed we had 1/5th of ext3's usage even among lkml readers..... I guess the market contains more people who like technology than I was guessing. Maybe there is a positive word of mouth effect going on too. It would be nice if SuSE and others at least made it an unsupported option at install time. I shall have to find the time to go asking them all..... Hans
