Ext2/Ext3 filesystems are supported by FreeBSD NetBSD.. and Linux(the<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.. includes some Unixs too)
Basicly Ext2 and Ext3 is not Linux due to it being a part in many other Operating Systems. Basicly there is almost no Filesystem that is Linux own. Basicly some other Operating system will access it. Most windows Ext2 drivers I have seen are either build from scratch or build from the OpenBSD source.
If it has Ext2 and Ext3 support Say that. Basicly that is what linux has Ext2/Ext3/... Support. A linux system is most commonly Installed on Ext3 but there are many other filesystems that work just fine in it Support List. Note if a better filesystem comes a long and a driver is created for Linux there will be a distro somewhere using it.
