I have a need for a partition for sharing files

I was using vfat for it. I re-did my partitions when I
installed fc5. I made it a vfat, but I was wondering
if ntfs writes are any better than they used to be.
I'd rather use ntfs than vfat, but not is writing
under linux is really slow.

No, ntfs writing is not yet feasible. From what I've heard, you can only
write to a file if it doesn't change the size. No file/folder creation
either. I've started using ext2 as my sharing partitions on my desktop,
since there's a driver for that for windows
(http://e2fsprogs.sf.net/ext2.html Ext2fsd). It takes a little mucking
to mount the drives correctly (a command from cmd and a new registry
entry) but once that's done it shows up as a normal lettered drive.
Unfortunately it isn't the most stable driver, I got BSODs by running
.exes off of one of my partitions for a while, seemingly caused by
/system32/driver/sptd.sys (no idea why I had this file, it's apparently
from Daemon Tools).
