I've never used EXT4, so I don't know if it'd have game-breaking bugs for me, but when I upgrade to Linux Mint 8 I'm going to set up an EXT4 file system. Just because it's supposed to be faster.

I noticed a marked difference in performance when I upgraded from Ubuntu 8.10/ext3 to 9.04/ext4. How much was ext4 and how much was general Ubuntu performance increase, I don't know, but based on reviews I'm inclined to think ext4 played a significant part, and since I haven't experienced any problems with it so far, I'm pretty excited about it :o)

How about 64-bit versus 32-bit? Do you think that helps any? Or do you know?

[blnchflr]

I only have personal experience with 32-bit. The general opinion of the people on the Danish Ubuntu forum using 64-bit seems to be that it's faster - I don't know about the relation of 64-bit to filesystems, though!

Heh! Okay, thanks. ^.^
