ufs ntfs-fuse or fat32

does anyone have any experience using these filesystems?

I'm dual-booting osx tiger and t2 (a linux distro). I created a separate partition for /home and I want to have read/write access from both os's. unfortunately, t2 doesn't support case-sensitive hfs+.

Avoid FAT32 at all costs... it has many limitations and is just an awful file system. I'm using MacFUSE with NTFS-3G on OS X to read/write to my Windows partition and it works great here.

I don't find anything wrong with fat32. (almost anything reads it)
I would not put an os on it though...

FAT32 gets increasingly slower and inefficient with drive sizes larger than 32Gb for starters. It doesn't have some security features that NTFS offers. It's far more susceptible to file corruptions. In my experience... I had an external drive formatted in FAT32. If that drive wasn't "ejected" properly before it was disconnected, the next time I connected it I see nothing but gobbledy-gook on it (though after a couple proper ejects and reconnects it'd seemed to have fixed itself).
