[luau] Mac OSX in Linux Journal

I just received the latest issue of Linux Journal, wherein OSX is 
objectively discussed and compared.  The bottom line:  they liked it 
quite a bit, said that version 10.1.2 has come a very long way from 
10.0, but still has a long way to go.  The only "deficiency" I can see 
is that the default filesystem seems to be HFS+, which I have on an old 
Powerbook 1400 running MacOS 8.1.  HPFS+ doesn't seem nearly robust 
enough for the job, and is case-insensitive, which would seem to break 
many things.
I would hope that ext3, reiserfs or a similarly capable journalling fs 
would be made available for it soon.
