[ltp] Mandrake vs Redhat

Sun, 6 Jan 2002 22:45:09 -0600

Mandrake by default installs ext2.  I recognize that it supports a variety
of journalling file systems, but the automatic install uses ext2.

Not sure which version of mandrake your reffering to but mandrake has
supported reiserfs (from the install) from 7.2 onwards and 8.1 (the
latest one) supports ext3, reiserfs, JFS, and XFS (I think thats about
all the journaling file systems available for linux).

Mandrakes partitioning tool - Diskdrake absolutely rocks and I would
recommend to everyone on the list who is in need of any partitioning (i
think it runs on most distros now).

Cheers,

Myles
