ext3 is the default with redhat-7.2.  Grub has some extra functionality
and awareness of journaling filesystem, I don't recall if it's ext3's or
reiser though.

Either, but not both here.

Devfs seems like a big win on a diskless linux box/thin client, 
I wouldn't recommend it in general (yet), I've seen numerous strange
bugs because of it, from network drivers, video card drivers and
keyboard drivers.   

If your into it to check it out go for it...
