47 47  **UPDATE (May 05, 2013)**: I've updated the installation instructions. The old instructions included downloading the source and installing from there. At the time, that was all that was available. Since then, the ZFS on Linux project has created a proper Debian repository that you can use to install ZFS. Here is how you would do that:

61 61  --**A word of note:** the manpages get installed to /share/man/. I found this troubling. You can modify your $MANPATH variable to include /share/man/man8/, or by creating symlinks, which is the approach I took:--

63 -{{{# cd /usr/share/man/man8/

72 72  It is stable enough to run a ZFS root filesystem on a GNU/Linux installation for your workstation as something to play around with. It is copy-on-write, supports compression, deduplication, file atomicity, off-disk caching, --encryption,-- and much more. At this point, unfortunately, I'm convinced that ZFS as a Linux kernel module will become "stable" long before Btrfs will be stable in the mainline kernel. Either way, it doesn't matter to me. Both are Free Software, and both provide the long needed features we've needed with today's storage needs. Competition is healthy, and I love having choice. Right now, that choice might just be ZFS.
