Exactly.  Fat and NTFS are pretty much sluts.  They will sync up with
any old computer.  Linux file systems are more secure and chaste.  They
want passwords and assuredness that you really love them, preferably a
nice ring.

So how do you turn xfs or etx3 into system sluts?

As to Fat, I have no windows systems, ask me if I care.
