Dear friends: My thanks to everyone who wrote in concerning the question of NTFS vs. VFAT in Win2000 for my dual-boot LM 8.0/Windows2000 system. Since I do little sharing of files between Linux and Windows, I selected NTFS as my file system for Win2000. Everyone seems to admit that it is superior, even far superior as a filing system to VFAT. So, it's worth the trade-off in my case. Thanks again, everybody. Benjamin -- Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED]
