I have windows XP for dealing with the windows world, no permanent
storage contemplated ; just for being able to deal with the non-linux
world. (Dell inspiron 2200)

Need a FAT32 area to talk to linux, I guess

How should I partition the drive? I have partition magic available.

It would be nice if small linux files didn't take much space ; speed
isn't much of a concern as I contemplate number-crunchers running,
mostly.

Reliability would be nice, though I contemplate using windows to back
critical stuff up on another laptop. (Nice if windows can read
the linux area but I guess a FAT32 area can be used to move stuff)
