I love and hate file systems but have learned a long time ago. That using the most used file formats is a plus and very handy. Like a rain coat in the spring. Live CD's are great! I have a keyring full of thumb drives and back up everything all over and even to G-space if I need to travel. Anyway, it's a good idea to partition and use ext3 /boot /user /root or your pleasure. Fat32 is good too have around but not so easy to fix and recover. Seems much easier now to have access to your files. Back in the day of fat16 we crossed our fingers. Back in the day we used boot loaders for DOS's,OS/2,windows, and Linux. Just amazing what we can do today!
