A journaling filesystem like reiser should be sufficiently robut
to prevent your data from being lost.  

While imho it makes much sense to
prevent your data from being lost, we should firstly prevent your
notebook from freezing. 

In general, a Linux machine should not
freeze, at the very least it should not freeze so frequently ;-).

So what makes your notebook freeze?
