Google Backtracks & Re-Enables EXT3/4 File-System Support In Chrome OS

You're asserting an expansion on what counts as a linux distro just as much as I'm asserting a limitation.

It works both ways. If i can't say it's generally accepted that Android isn't a linux distro, you can't claim that it is, and that i need to somehow prove otherwise.

Anyway, depending on just how much that userland departs from a typical GNU userland, i would distinguish it from a linux distro. But it depends on how much it differs. It would take quite a bit - on the order of android, for example.

I am saying all such definitions evolve and I am not asking for any proof either. As I noted before, many embedded distros differ quite a bit from typical GNU userland (no glibc, uses busybox etc).

I understand the rage fox EXT4.
I can imagine that EXT3 can be still in use.
But, for the sake of Zarquon, how many people is still using EXT2?

Gentoo defaults to ext2 for the boot partition. People still using fat16 like my brand new dashcam does.
Less assumptions made, less unforeseen problems. You don't want an unreadable removable and no way to enable modules to support it.
