Ditto. If I were doing another tri-boot I'd have a large FAT32
partition separate from the three OS partitions. If you're still using NT
(ugh) you'd have to stick w/ FAT16 for the shared space, though.
I have heard of drivers for Windows to access ext2, but I don't know
that they're any more stable than the Linux NTFS driver.
