What is a 'default file system' ? I know that untill now, everybody is using
ext2. But that's only because there hasn't been anything comparable. Now we
se ReiserFS, and my SuSE installation offers the choice. In the future, I
believe that people can choose from ext2, ReiserFS,xfs, ext3 and maybe more.

No, I don't think it's a big hurdle. If you just want to play with
PostgreSQL, you wont care. If you're serious, you'll repartition.
