[DPRG] Fwd: OT - Linux Question

Oops, I hit "send" accidentally.
I'd like to configure my PC to dual-boot with either Ubuntu Linux or
Windows. I set a separate partition on the primary drive before I
installed Windows XP.
I've done this before, with both installs on the same hard drive. (I
also did it, years ago, in a flakey way that involved two identical
hard drives).
The way I'd like to do it this time around is to have Windows and
Ubuntu on the boot hard drive, then have all of my data on a separate
hard drive. My thinking is that each operating system will be able to
access the other hard drive.
I have the second hard drive formatted NTFS presently. I don't know
how stable Ubuntu is with NTFS.
My questions are:
1. Does my plan make any sense?
and
2. Would FAT32 formatting be better for a drive that will be
read/written by Windows and Linux?
Thanks,
Jeff
