Linux systems have access to a wide range of filesystems, however most Linux distributions default to ext3 or ext4. In the future it is our hope that the "standard" Linux filesystem will be btrfs.
Linux supports many different file systems, including ext, ext3, ext4, ReiserFS, Reiser4, JFS, btrfs, and XFS.
