if you're planning to put more than one OS on there (regardless of if its windows, linux, osx, whatever) save yourself some trouble right now and repartition. make one giant ntfs partition and put all your music/pictures/video/documents/downloads on there. that way, all the other OS's that you install can grab what they need from there, and can stick things there as well, so you can easily transfer files from OS to OS, and don't have to duplicate your multimedia for each OS.

Quick question. Could you do this on a macbook that you are planning to dual-boot with windows?

short answer: no, but

long answer: yes, if

Thanks.
I'm assuming it's a yes if it's between Chromium OS and Windows though.

i think by this point all linux based OS's come with the ntfs-3g module, so yes. any linux and definitely windows can handle it.
