Default ext3
Linux is said to be more secure because of the user permissions etc (like the CHMOD) and that's an ext3 thing right? So if we based Linux on another file system it would be less secure?

No, that's not an ext3 thing. ext3 represents HOW the files are laid out on the hard-drive.

There are several other filesystem types available to Linux such as EXT, EXT2, etc..
