If you're going to use them only for Linux - no reason to get the DOS tools involved, format them with a Linux filesystem. If you're going to use them on DOS/Win machines as well as your Linux box - then format them for DOS and set Linux up to mount them using DOS filesystems (via your fstab). -Jay
