Hello!
Yes, it would definitely appear that Linus Torvalds prefers non-journaling file systems such as ext2. As for reiserfs, I've never tried it myself. As long as you have a desktop with a UPS or a laptop/netbook with a good battery, ext4 - which is what I use nowadays - is fine.
Now when I first got my netbook, it had no battery, so I used ext2 with Lubuntu, but the kernel got to a point a couple of releases ago where it wouldn't shut an ext2 file system down properly anymore. Since I had bought a good battery for the netbook by then, I went exclusively to ext4 at that point.
I have an ancient laptop with a totally dead battery, so on THAT one, I use ext2. So far, no problems, knock wood...
