[PLUG] New drive quandary

[Kenneth G. Stephens]

Well now that I have a 36.1 gigabyte 10,000 hard drive.  I have a problem.

I have been running <shudder>Windows 2000</shudder> on my main mail reader,
photo editor, bigger memory PII 266 Mhz with 384 MB RAM system, with a
mother board that has on-board SCSI to which is connected a scanner and zip
drive. I have also sort of retired my use-to-be firewall web server
<cheer>Linux</cheer> system back from the firewall, since I obtained a
D-Link 707 Firewall/switch.

I have not formatted it yet and am wondering what would be the best file
system to use.  I want to use the hard drive as a back up for my other
systems. (Did I mention, the spouse's <shudder>Windows 98</shudder> PIII 1.2
MHz 512MB RAM, 20 GB Hard drive system?)  One of these days I will get up
the nerve and try to get to just Linux at home, but until then, I will be
putting this new drive on the <shudder>Windows 2000</shudder> machine.
