Plenty... Yes, all laptops need a journaled FS. The easiest I've found to |
| 20 |
install and then admin is EXT3. If you feel that you need anything "more |
| 21 |
powerful" then you should move your work to a desktop. |

As a side note, I've been using ext4dev as an expirement and I find it quite |
| 24 |
nice. However, be aware, once you enable "extents" as a boot option and cause |
| 25 |
writes to the disk (ie. save a file, etc)... you can never go back to ext3 or |
| 26 |
plain old ext2 without a format. |
