Sharing data between operating systems? Not locking users to just one filesystem, which is locked to operating system. Today we have two possibilities: a) Veritas is everywhere - commercial closed source b) FAT - MS has some patent for it and tried to do something around it, I think and not very good for data. Do you know another? ext2 maybe, but it is old. Sharing is the key benefit for OSol and open source. Best regards, Milan
