[NTLUG:Discuss] Re: Strange Request, Maybe?

[Will Senn]

I don't suppose you or anyone else knows why Redhat 7.1 doesn't yet
have Reiser as a choice during setup - Caldera 3.1 beta does,
Mandrake 8.0 does as well. Is it really not ready for prime time?
Also do you know about XFS and how it stacks up against Reiser?

For the curious...
XFS: http://linux-xfs.sgi.com/projects/xfs/
Reiser: http://www.namesys.com/


Thanks,

Will
