Corel Linux

[Evan Hoff]

with most plain vanilla kernels you can usually 
use windows partitions pretty easily..
(fat for dos and osr1 win95 platforms and fat32
for win95 osr2 and win98) you can also use the
vfat kernel module and get long file names under
linux (instead of those annoying 8.3 chopped names)
there is also support for NTFS which is pretty nice 
for dual boots. too bad windows doesnt have this
kinda support...there is hardly any support for
mounting ext2 under windows (and the software is still
in alpha/beta stages)

I can't remember when they became part of the filesystem options,
but they've been in there for a while.
