I remember that as well. I took a while to upgrade to ext3, and a much longer while to upgrade to ext4 (long after ext4dev became ext4). For most types of software, I like novelty. For filesystems, I like boring; boring is good.
I remember choosing between Xia and Ext2 when I first installed Linux. Both had just came out that year if memory serves. Friend tried to push me to use Xia, but I went the other way. Had more headaches initially, but time shows which one won out in the end.
Thats funny, I was just remembering installing one of my first Linux distros where I had to choose between 2.2 or the brand new 2.4. I remember booting between them to see which one worked best with what I had.
I suppose I had to decide to deal with ext3 not long after that.
yes, me too. I remember living on the edge with the 2.4, I used Slackware. I recompiled the kernel once or two times a day :/
Always patching nvidia driver (in cli) because I cannot access X11 without driver :D
