Most older versions of Linux are limited to any single file being 2 GIG,
newer versions like say RH 7.2, probably Mandrake, SuSE all should not have
this limit, not sure of others , somone else can talk about Debian or other
flavours....
There are various file systems you can use, but ext3 seems to be the one
emerging as what will be the standard.
