I've been running debian testing for a long time no, with no real
problems. Most of my X related problems have to do with some old helix
debs that got in near the root of my dependencies and were breaking
everything else.

Does anyone use ReiserFS? I am considering reformatting and moving away
from ext2. Basically, I have a lot of hardware related crashes and it's
finally driving me nuts.

(SMP USB support in linux is pretty dismal IMHO)
