I'm going to try it.

If we started speaking of suport. Can we have compatibility map 
somewhere? For example compatibility with 2Gb barrier. We ran into a 
problem when having  installed ext3 partition and having compiled Python 
to support longfilenames. It occured that ext3 still has 2Gb limit. Look 
like FAT32 has the problem and ext2 has the problem. NTFS, reiserfs 
doesn't have it. You mentioned alternatives. It would be cool to have 
them in one central place dedicated to 2Gb problem. If anybody can 
provide me with his experience in the problem, I'd volunteer in creating 
and supporting such central place.
