I am running EXT3 instead of ReiserFS for only one reason.  Ghost knows 
how to read EXT3, so creating an image using Ghost is faster & easier.  
Since Ghost doesn't know about ReiserFS, it's forced to do a sector by 
sector copy. 

I would rather have a journalling FS on a laptop because of the tendency 
to improperly shutdown a laptop and my ability to hang them.
