I keep all of my files on flash drives because I have both a
laptop(Ubuntu) and a desktop (Windows) and I can just uplug the drives
from one and plug them into the other, without missing a beat.
It is possible that Microsoft Office doesn't open ODT files, I don't
know I have never tried. But saving everything in .doc format solves
that problem.

A friend of mine is looking to switch from XP to Ubuntu. She wants to know
how to handle moving her data over, and I figured I'd check here first
before replying. My understanding is that Linux has no problems reading
NTFS drives these days, the only risk is in writing to them. So as long as
she has another HDD to move her data to, it should be a simple matter of
coping things over before reformating the NTFS drive. Am I correct?
