Re: Definitely no sshd on FAT32?

I specifically reinstalled my XP onto FAT32 because I dual boot Linux and the NTFS driver is not as good as the FAT32.
Why is that? And before you say that there's no support for NTFS under
Linux, see <http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/>.
Granted it has come a long way, but I last partitioned my disk around
July last year, at which time "very buggy access" was not a very
reassuring testimonial!
Another reason was I use a laptop with only 20G of disk and FIPS was
also capable of re-sizing FAT32 partitions, if I ever needed to
re-distribute the windows/linux share. I also see that this has moved
along since and http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/ may provide a
solution (But I have never used it!).
Next time I re-partition might give NTFS a go. FYI, performance wise I
have not found FAT 32 a problem especially for a small disk.
