It is a high performance file system, still somewhat in the experimental
stage.  However, it has already (as I understand) proven useful to some 
advanced users with very particular requirements.

It has a number of advanced features/benifits, but perhaps the most 
mentioned is journaling.  

There are several other advanced/journaling file systems for linux under 
development.  These would include XFS, JFS, ext3, and maybe others that 
I have not heard of.

At present, the most widely used file system for linux is ext2, aka e2fs.
That is probably what your are/should be using.
