200 gb hdd partitions

[Erik Heil]

Their are a lot of filesystems for Linux.  In Fedora, the default filesystem
is ext3 which is a journaling filesystem.  Their's also Ext2, jfs, reiserfs,
UFS (which I think is used on Sun and SGI/MacOSX machines), etc.  Don't know
about the UFS filesystem though, just that you can mount it.  Not sure about
read/write mode.
