If you look,  you'll probably see that one is a link to the other.  Nifty
trick,  that where some unix-type programs can act differently based on
what name they were invoked with.  The dos version I have on this box is
supposed to act the same way,  but unfortunately dos doesn't give me the
option of making links,  so I have two copies,  with different names, 
wasting a whole 63k or so of disk space...    :-)

Not much difference there -- you can go from ext3 to ext2 and back again
without much trouble.  Just involves something to do with the journal file.
 I forget the details but someone in the linux echo would know.  That's one
of the reasons I went to ext3 on my partitions here when I had some flaky
power, things were getting too tedious waiting for those filesystem checks
when it returned...

Which one is that?
