Reiser in kernel 2.4 is stable, but they don't care much about 2.2.x and
they don't really try to make it work well.  It has 3 problems:

1) Reiser for 2.2.x doesn't support 3.6 version reiser filesystems.  Period.
   So, Reiser filesystems created on 2.4 kernels probably will never be usable
   from tomsrtbt.

2) The Reiser patch collides with and is incompatible with the ext3 patch.
   This I will be able to fix with some work.

3) There is a bug, they broke the current 2.2 patch, it crashes the kernel,
   I have gotten a patch in email for this, and can fix it now.

Impossible, because I have both a toms.net and a www.toms.net, and the respective
machines are hundreds of miles apart and serve different functions.

www.toms.net is web space on Pair networks (pair.com) in Ohio, static web space
that I pay $4.95 a month for, with 200mb/day bandwidth and 40 or 50 mb of space.

toms.net is a machine in my house in Bethesda Maryland, connected with IDSL/144.
