I successfully installed Ubuntu on Friday night. All went pretty smoothly.
I'm wondering about putting my entire home directory on a FAT partition, and pointing Windows' "My Documents" folder at the same partition, so that files, pictures etc. stored under one OS are seamlessly usable under the other.
Is this just a Very Bad Idea, fraught with terrible danger? I'm aware that I would not be able to "hibernate" (suspend to disk) Windows, as that doesn't unmount the FAT partition. When Windows is restarted, it will simply ignore any changes made by Linux in the meantime.
Also, I was unable to set up a FAT partition larger than about 500M using Parted. I want a 3G partition. What to do?
