First of all, why is SCO in braces, you'll ask. The reason is, I have not seen anything in this linux distribution that sounds or smells like Caldera/SCO, even though I downloaded it through SCO's UnitedLinux beta tester website. I will mostly focus on the installation (as I am a UNIX installation developer in "real life"), but I will also discuss more parts of the UnitedLinux distribution. For more screenshots of UnitedLinux and its installation procedure, go here.

The problem with Reiserfs is that many people who have had corruption, had shit-house chipsets. You know the cheap crappy ones from VIA that are held together with two pieces of string and a rubber band. Hence, the rumour went around that reiserfs is "unstable" and "not ready for production".
I have two machines. A PIII with a BX440 Chipset + my personal speed demon, dual Xeon processor on a ServerWorks chipset motherboard. Both are rock solid and have never caused any filesystem corruption.
Conclusion: You pay for what you get. Cheap motherboard with cheap chipset = crap reliability.
