Another reason was I use a laptop with only 20G of disk and FIPS was also capable of re-sizing FAT32 partitions, if I ever needed to re-distribute the windows/linux share. I also see that this has moved along since and http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/ may provide a solution (But I have never used it!). Next time I re-partition might give NTFS a go. FYI, performance wise I have not found FAT 32 a problem especially for a small disk.
