yes that is indeed the case. The INodes need not to be overwritten for
undo to work and the location needs still to be marked in some way.
(as I posted before) there seams to be undo-tools for ext2fs only.

easy:
#!/bin/bash
#only works if rm doens't get parameters that are dissimilar form mv
mv $* /tmp/
rm $*
/tmp/ gets emptied on reboots and so on.
This is a really quick-dirty-hack like scripting :)

aptitude has also a shells-section, might be more intersting to brows
through.

locate and not to forget find.
you also have file that does typing by automiagical way and not extention.
I believe the new MS-version Longhorn has a database-line filesystem (okay
I following a talk about it, not by my choosing just had to be there (see
chariman-line in sig)).

depends, every filesystem has it's unique pro's cons.
i.e. I'm runnign my new installs all with reiserfs becaues of the
journaling and it's faster then ext3fs whihc has journaling too.
JFS would be the best, but it isn't quite completely supported yet AFAIK.
