My suggestion is that if you mainly use it with Linux pc's then dont go
for either fat or ntfs.... stick with ext3 or simmilar for compatibility
with *nix.

Most flash disks are formatted with some version of FAT, for maximum
compatibility and of course FAT works fine with linux. But I am
confused about maximum filesystem size on FAT partitions, and I don't
want a whole lot of small partitions. Any of the linux filesystems
will reduce compatibility with windows machines.
Brilliant war stories anyone?
