You can r/w to an ext3 with Windows, but in Windows you need to install
something like ex2ifs: http://www.fs-driver.org/ in order to read/write

older MAC's, but I've no experience with MAC.



I'm not too concerned about writing to my drives with Windows.
Baldwin Linguas is a 100% FOSS/Gnu/Linux shop...

Thanks for clearing that up for me!


Cool, but in the event that you have a visiting windows laptop/guest,
keep the http://www.fs-driver.org/ link handy. I also am basically 100%
linux, but I also troubleshoot others windows systems, so I have 2 other
Windows drives that I can dual boot into.

As for FOSS... you are not 100% FOSS if you are running standard Ubuntu.
If you really want to do that, then you can install gobuntu:
