Linux advice
MonMotha:
Linux has full support for FAT32 and has for ages. Linux also has good support for NTFS these days and has for several years. Obviously FAT32 doesn't support all the filesystem attributes you'd expected on a Linux system (ownership, permissions, ACLs, etc.), so everything will just show up with the same owner and permissions. NTFS does support some of this stuff, but it doesn't map nicely to Linux style attributes, so the same trick is done. For a single user system, this normally works fine. Ubuntu should offer to bring these filesystems in for you if it doesn't just do it by default.
One thing to keep in mind: make sure you don't access these filesystems from Linux while Windows is "hibernated" (or vice versa). I'll spare you the details and just say "It would be bad".

If you are already using open office, there's nothing holding you back! I'm pretty sure it's cross platform...
