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.

How'd you try suse 8.1? not out yet I thought...
But anyway, I've NEVER had a problem with reiserfs. It's especially going to be of benefit for systems that use lots of small files; the people that make it actually encourage the use of the filesystem like some sort of flat database just because the performance is so good for that.
Also, one more note about the Yast2 vid setup with nvidia cards... if UL holds to the same tradition as suse 8.0, you'll find that when you use the online update system (YOU --- which works damned well) for the first time, it will offer you the option of allowing it to automatically go get the REAL nvidia drivers from the nvidia site, with which it will then replace the "license unencumbered" driver used during installation. In my experience, totally bulletproof and automatic. I was amazed. Then again, my sound and other stuff generally always was set up properly by Yast2 as well...
