[plug] reiserfs

[Dennis Plester]

I know this is off topic, but my PC sometimes hangs, which I am certain is
from my noname TNT2 card as well. If you have a second PC networked to the
first, you can usually connect to the PC through a client like Win98's
hyperterm and issue a shutdown -r command.

Saves the nervous anxiety and file system worries. Sounds like I should have
a look at this reiserfs thing too.

Dennis.

	I use/ have used the no brain installation options from suse and
mandrake.  I
	have not done a compile on an already ext2 system nor is my machine
commercial. 

	On occasion, my shangwa brand' tnt2 vid card and XF864x hangs from
(IMHO)
	nvidia's  attrocious drivers. As a result, the power button is
required to be
	hit and the pain is much less with ReiserFS, ensuring a quick reboot
without
	filesystem problems.
