I would recommend that you get the cheapest little machine you can slap
together, put the drive in it, and make it exported via NFS and Samba.
You don't really need much to be a file server - a 486 with 32MB would
probably be sufficient if it's got a decent network card. If you can
scrape together a cheapie Pentium-class machine, you'll get PCI and you
can use 100MB, which will make it that much faster.
Otherwise, yes, you are pretty much going to have to make it FAT32 to be
able to see it from both Linux and Windows, and the Linux FAT32
implementation has known problems/bugs that can potentially lead to data
loss. (There used to be tools that let you see ext2 filesystems from
Windows, but I don't know how long it's been since they've been updated,
or if they'll work with "modern" versions of Windows OS's.)
You REALLY DON'T want to make it FAT32 native under Linux. The
fileserver is your best option.
P.S. SGI's XFS rocks all over other Linux journaling FSs.
