[TriLUG] What filesystem would you use for a laptop?

[Andrew Perrin]

It's been a while since I've set up a new system. I've never before used a 
journaling FS, but am considering either riser or ext3 for the one that's 
supposed to arrive today (woo-hoo). Comments? Does the journaling take 
processor overhead, and thereby battery time? I tend to think of my laptop 
as a portable peripheral to my desktop, so fast boot time is nice but 
there won't be a lot of crucial data stored on the machine.

Thanks-
Andy
