[CentOS] Which file system to use for a USB backup

2011-03-09 Thread Todd Cary
I have some photographs on my Centos 4 server that I want to copy to a USB drive. However, I want to be able to access the files from Windows or Mac OS's. Where should I look for instructions on how to mount and format the USB drive and is FAT32 the only option? Many thanks -- Ariste Softw
