I wish I could contribute more.  I get so much help from the forum, 
however, my skill level is not yet worthy of helping much.  Every little 
opportunity I get, I try though.  I hope you get your problems solved.  
I am installing Hefty on a separate partition and will soon dual boot 
with Gutsy and Hefty.  If I learn anything about which file system is 
best, I will forward the news to you.  Success!
