I must admit that I was never very interested in the case. I was really only ever wondering what would happen with ReisferFS. Back when I ran Linux as my primary computing system I used ReiserFS because it seemed to be the most promising. On my latest install I went with ext3 instead because, well, I knew the dude was up on murder charges and things didn’t look good.
When your wife goes missing it’s a bad idea to tear out the passenger seat of your car, hose it all down, and leave two books on how police prosecute murder cases in it. That looks a bit odd.
Oh, and don’t testify in your own defense when your lawyer tells you not to. That’s a bad idea.
I’ve never used Reiser, though SuSE seems quite confident of its stability. Still, there were the occassional horror stories back when it first came out. FWIW, with alternatives such as XFS and JFS around, I’m not sure that Reiser brings enough to the table any more.
