i dunno. i use 100% reiserfs. but i guess i could be what is called
``daring''
as far as that goes, i can commit my ReiserFS additions to debootstrap
at any time. since i cannot get a boot disk to build, i have been
hesitant to actually make the commits.

i dunno. i have not seen the reiserfs patch for the 2.2.19 kernel in
Debian yet (it is on the namesys.com site though)
