[Scott M. Likens]

I personally prefer xfs over reiserfs, however I don't think it's

which 'guide' you may find they should tell you the cost and benefit of
every file-system.

"What does one want when one is engaged in the sexual act?
That everything around you give you its utter attention
Think only of you, care only for you...
Every man wants to be a tyrant when he fornicates"
