Re: Simple Question ...

Slowly, but surely, Linux will have NTFS writing support. As of right 
now its still experimental in the kernel, however, I wouldn't be 
surprised if it begins working with reasonable sucess, and soon. 
Micrsoft apparently is also working on another file system, winfs. The 
only reasons I would even consider using FAT is a) Linux can write to 
FAT file systems, and b) DOS can read FAT file systems :)
