Howdy Peter! Linux supports several different file system types. Each type handles organizing data on the physical drives slightly differently. The reiserfs is one of those FS types - it's a "journaling" file system that handles updates in a way different than most others. I can't begin to cover

Having a fan blowing out further decreases the internal pressure. Nature hates this pressure difference and th
