good to know... So, now I know why everybody looks at me weird when I 
say that I want ReiserFS on the Mac. :) I still do, as I feel its a 
pretty sweet FS, but I now understand why other FSes are chosen over 
it...

I wonder when Reiser4 is gonna be readily usable? it's already 
released, however. It's also got a bigger sponsor, SuSE. Lindows 
sponsored the V4 debugging, but I don't know what that really means...
