I debated on this fall, and decided against XFS because I didn't trust
our UPS,thus didn't want to be at the mercy of that UPS for my data.
That's why I ended up with JFS on some data partitions.

But I'm still curious:  Ubuntu doesn't support JFS?  Since Debian
supports it out of the box, I always assumed Ubuntu did as well.  And
I know at least one person who uses JFS with a Ubuntu server; but I'm
not sure how much work he did to get it to work.

If you don't want Ubuntu, my personal advice is Debian since I know
JFS works in it.   But which distro to use is a very personal
decision, depending on what you do with it, which apps you run, how
experienced you are, and finally what the people you ask for help
around you use.  In my case, the end result is either Ubuntu or
Debian.
