I am going to dual-boot install Ubuntu1 10.04 on my laptop with Windows 7. I was wondering

  1. what filesystem types (such as ext2, ext3, ext4, ReiserFS and whatever might come into mind) are recommended for various possible partitions (such as /, home, /boot, swap, and others that might come into mind)and why?
  2. if ext4 is now stable enough for use for partitions in Ubuntu and Shared partition between Windows and Ubuntu?
  3. what journaling Options (writeback, ordered and journal) are recommended for each partition's filesystem?

Thanks and regards!
