Yes

DSL automatically supports the mounting and read/write for any reiser version 3.x partitions on your drives.

However, you will need to install reiserfs tools if you wish to use DSL in order to format a new partition or other filesystem maintenance.

You can install them if you either "Enable Apt" or run "Synaptic" from the menu.

Then

sudo apt-get install reiserfsprogs

or choose to install it from the Synaptic menu.

In my opinion, ReiserFS v3.x is the best filesystem choice for a linux installation.

Unlike EXT2, ReiserFS is a rock stable journaling file system.

EXT3 is also a journaling file system but ReiserFS 3.x performance (speed) is better, especially for older computers where the speed difference can effect usability.
