Decent reading. I like your site design as well. Keep up your good work.

It’s a bit of a bad idea… given that it’s fully readable and writable to all users of the Windows system, it wouldn’t be out of the question for a virus that infects your windows system to go around corrupting things on your linux system.
Suppose you use GRUB as your boot manager. Now suppose someone gets a virus in windows, and has full read/write access to the Linux system. Now imagine the ensuing fun of that virus corrupting files in /boot

The driver is a good idea, but in practice, it’s a pain. I’d recommend installing it when you absolutely have to have it, and then uninstalling when you no longer need it.

Linux Reader is a Windows-Explorer like program that grants you read only access to your Linux partitions. So if you have a picture, video, OpenOffice.org document, or other file that you just want to access from Windows, Linux Reader could be the safer option.

It should be pointed out that Ext2IFS allows read/write access to all files on the ext2 volume without security (you’re essentially root)

“There P.C.’s”? (the sentence is screwed up anyway, but “their PCs”)

“Lets see” (Let’s see)

Wow…
