The only place I use FAT, is on systems that also run Windows.

I don't think it's hard drives that will be the problem, it's that most digital cameras, USB key drives, and MP3 players use FAT, so it will just inflate the prices of these items. I'm sure there are free alternatives that are just as good, but do you think the maker of a $600 camera will care? Austin -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
