One thought: FAT16 can be read by Windows, DOS and Linux. If you've got a
large repository of "stuff" scattered across various OSen, you could just
configure a "dump" for all of it and share that regardless of the OS in use.
The only downer is FAT16's inefficient cluster sizes.
I do a lot of this on my CDR machine - I can access the FAT partition from
Linux or Windows, depending on the tools I need to use.
If you can get it for a reasonable price locally, Power Quest's Partition
Magic is a life saver for this sort of thing, letting you convert easily
between partition type, size, location, drive letter and all sorts of stuff.
I've done several "high risk" conversions and haven't lost a thing yet.
