Just to add to that, aside from exceptional cases or high-demand  
systems, it really doesn't tend to make much of a difference,  
particularly for a novice user. I've tried ext2/3, reiser and XFS,  
and aside one incident (XFS zeros out files in an unknown state after  
a system crash, which is bad when these files include those related  
to your boot loader), I haven't noticed much difference from one to  
the next.
