If no Windows boxes will need to access the drive, I would also recommend non-journaled HFS+ (Macs call it also "Mac OS Extended"). It's native to OS X, Linux has a full read/write support for it, and you get to preserve UNIX style file ownerships, permissions, symbolic links, etc. Just make sure it's non-journaled, because, as other readers pointed out, Linux can only read journaled HFS+, not write to it. There are few Fedora packages you might need or find useful: hfsplus-tools, hfsplusutils.
