Right... ext3 will hopefully be ready soon.

Show me the journalling FAT filesystem or convince everyone that Windoze
{3.1,95,98,Me} are not suitable for the desktop.
I greatly prefer it if you do the latter (no need to convince me though,
I already am). ;)

The right "fix" for the stupid user (guess that's what you mean by
desktop) would probably be replacing the manual fsck with another automatic
fsck that simply answers yes to everything.
This can mess up the filesystem in some cases, but it won't challenge the
user, and it's probably what some other OSes do.

It isn't - it's what we're doing (at least until at least one of the
journalling FSes is really ready for prime time).
