Sure!
You can use ReiserFS (or other journaling file systems like XFS or EXT3) -
they boot and fsck really fast.
I think it requires a kernel patch, but I'm not sure. You can find alot of
documentation on the web.

Ofcourse the good thing with linux is that I don't care if it takes 3 hours
to boot after crash - it crashes less than 4 times a year - I can afford the
time. (and it usually takes less than an hour even if you have 19G)
Like the old LispMachines - took all morning to boot, but they stayed up
forever. Ah, the days when men were real men and wrote stable systems that
you debugged on runtime... those days there's all this spiffy eyecandy like
gnome which looks real cool, but although its still much much more stable
than any NT, its not stable enough for me.
</rant>  

Speaking of which - if anyone has any clue on how to find a lispmachine,
lispmachine cards or lispmachine parts - I'll be very gratefull for those.

thanks,
