I could convert them now to ext3. I was wondering whether there are
tangible advantages to ext3 for a typical desktop user.
Yes, there are: journalling, i.e. ext3 keeps track of what data you
have on your disks, and where it is. which really helps in case of
crash or power outage. I personally use ReiserFS which, in my
experience, is even faster and superior in the recovery after a power
outage (something which happens often in Florida). BTW there are
other journalling file systems out there. I would definitely switch
over the ext3, ReiserFS or any other, it makes your disks much safer.
