Reiserfs is ready for betatesting and can be downloaded
from (I think) ftp.botik.namesys.ru or ftp.namesys.botik.ru.

There are problems with that server however, so I'll probably
write some clever .procmailrc on my universities account to
mirror the reiserfs stuff on a daily basis (no cron access,
but who needs cron anyway :-).

Rik.

PS. the .procmailrc isn't written yet, but it will also be used
to mirror things like uClinux and other stuff.
PPS. I think I'll be writing it this afternoon :)
