Aha...

I think I might be putting a journaling filesystem on my home directory,
the article says you don't need a journalised file system on read only filesystems 
(/usr /bin etc.) what about security updates, and installing new software, would I 
be better with a journalised file system everywhere, and would I notice a difference 
in performance against ext2fs (got an 850Hz Athalon, and fast ide hard drive).
