And I concur - I had only introduced Samba to the conversation because
I thought you were talking about several computers. If you are
dual-booting on one machine, I'd do as above.

Note that under windows you can use ext2 -- haven't used it, and don't
know how cygwin behaves with it, but it may be *just* what you need to
avoid case sensitivity problems and have symlink support.
