Out of SuSe - which I do not know - may I ask about debian etch (32 and 64):
reiser3, reiser4, or even some other reiser#? Just because I took that, as
reiserfs, for good (and I am long using it at 32bit without problems; now
also at 64bit). Presently my problems are not there; they are about putting
mpqc at work with "difficult" molecules: so far - despite my initial
enthusiasm - it has failed badly.
