Cool.

I am running unstable with 2.4.3 and that has ReiserFS (and with
kerneli, crypto) support. I will soon have a Mirrored 5GB RAIDed
encrypted resiserfs setup for my most sensitive work.

OK, I'm a GNOME nut :P

running 4.0.2 here but it's three version clobbered together:

        * DRI cvs from nearly a month ago (maybe slightly more now
          even..time flies)
        * Debian 4.0.2 packages
        * ATI.2 server for TV tuning via Xv support

It's messy having a libGL.so from one, a server from another, etc. but
it does give me quite stable GL, Xv support so xine works nicely and TV
tuner support which works nicely with xawtv's new Xv support.

I'll switch to 4.0.3 when I feel brave...
