ext3 is probably a good idea if you aren't going to be around in case
there is a power outage or someone trips over the power cord. I use
etx3 on all my boxes running 2.4.17 and haven't (yet) experienced any
problems (now I wait for all the replies saying "ext3 is B0rken on
2.4.17!!1!" :)
Good luck,
