What would y'all suggest here?
I just bought a new Maxtor 300 GB (though that's their measure as if 1GB = 1M
bytes) and external usb drive enclosure.
I plan to use this to back up data on both my *nix systems and a Win2K system.
What do you suggest for formatting?

Are you asking about tools or structure or what?
Tools: Yast works fine
Structure: you need fat32/vfat in order to read

I didn't think Fat32 was able to handle drives bigger than 2GB
files and the limit is 4gb, AFAIK, this is a problem if you
make a backup in one big tar file
Maybe I can split it 150 ext2 and 150 fat32.
for linux, prefere ext3

Why? When I started using SUSE it defaulted, I think, to reiserfs. I've
been using that ever since. Just installed it on two 360GB USB drives.
Any reason to change while I still have the space to do so? -ds

Kai,
More and more
1GB = 1000 * 1000 * 1000
1GiB = 1024 * 1024 * 1024
