That's what I thought, but recently I copied several 3 GB files to a 
FAT32 formatted USB disk from a Linux box and they copied without error, 
and verified with md5sum. 

A 5 GB file however, did seem to die at around the 4 GB point.

ext2 is also an option. I've used this ext2 driver with Windows and it 
seems to work.

I'd tend to trust the open source driver ported to Windows before I'd 
trust the reverse-engineered driver for NTFS on Linux.
