Thanks to everybody for posting. Although I like the graham cracker crust, our favorite restaurant has a cheesecake that has a very soft and smooth crust that I also like. I'd like to give that a shot. Several of the recipes that you described sound like they might give me something close to this. At the bookstore, a cheesecake cookbook regularly recommended crumbled butter cookies and butter.
And although I know there are strong arguments for minimal or no crust, I'll probably stick with a quarter-inch crust on the bottom on the sides.

Thanks again, Michael
A quarter inch? That sounds really thick to me, for a cheesecake crust. You should probably bake the crust, break it into chunks, and use the cheesecake mixture as a dip. ;-)

My preference for many cheesecakes is to heavily butter the springform pan, then toss around graham cracker or other crumbs to coat nicely, tossing out the excess. It's frequently just enough of a "crust", and it absolutely never hard or tough. I have never cared for totally crustless cheesecakes.

**************** Alright! That's about enough of that! Next thing I'll hear about is my crust falling off a shelf and killing a man. ;-)
