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

[Mike Murphy]

Weeeeellllll....
UFS+ is no more or less proprietary than NTFS (well, except that in this 
case its corporate parent is Apple, not Microsoft), so I guess you get 
what you pay for. I'm not sure that we can reasonably expect solid OSS 
support for such things.

FAT32 is still the most, or rather least common denomitor, I'm afraid.
