I introduced my parents to Linux [Ubuntu Gutsy] at their place, and they tried it for a few days. It was still too new for them, so they opted back for Windows. I was considering re-introducing it to them at some other point, until a few days later, my Linux box (Ubuntu) presented me with a reminder why Windows and Mac are still desktop-ready, but Linux isn't - the obligatory filesystem check if the machine has been rebooted at least 30 times. This leads me to the question of can this check be turned off? I know it is a kernel function, and not distro-based. If it can be turned off, what are the consequences? How do the [net/free/open]BSD families handle checks, since their kernels are different, I think. Thanks for feedback.
