Granted it has come a long way, but I last partitioned my disk around 
July last year, at which time "very buggy access" was not a very 
reassuring testimonial!
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.
