Cross Platform Filesystems

[Stephen]

This keeps poping up, and the only solution is install a a filesystem
that all your OS's can talk to. Difficulty in this Fat32 is
technically the only one and even still it is not FOSS.

however i know there is a windows driver for ext2/3 so you can use
that as your Filesystem. i do not know about MAC on this regard.
