    I'm new on Linux and I don't understand filesystems.
    ext2? ext3? ext4? VFAT? XFS? This seems confusing to me. I need to choose one for my hard drive in order to install Linux, but which one is the best?
    Can I change it later if there's a problem, or am I stuck with whatever I choose?
    Thanks!
