[ale] Best FS for archiving Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows XP?

[aaron]

FAT32 seems to be the LCD for free, fully cross platform read and write.

I have found 2 commercial HFS+ options for windblows systems, and will be 
using them to make our Mac OSeX external 1394 (a / b) media drives functional 
on the one windblows box we are still stick with for a few audio production 
aps.

Unfortunately, my research showed that HFS+ support under linux is sketchy at 
best, with nothing showing up for newer kernels. UFS could be considered, but 
under MAC OSeX it introduces some discrepancies with "expectations" of the 
standard user environment. 

Would be interested to know if you find any other solutions
