fat32 vs ntfs
http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Interoperability
Is this no longer accurate about fat32? I just used a 4 gb flash drive to share several video files between Windows XP and Linux Mint.
I also plan on sharing several files in the future with that 4 gb flash drive between XP and Mint so I was wondering if I should use fat32 or ntfs. Fat32 seems faster than ntfs, so I think I would prefer fat32. Please explain why with whichever way you say.

May I assume that there is no point to format your SD Card (assume you have the 32 GB size) to NTFS if the device can support SD Card of up to 32 GB and FAT32 maximum limit is also exactly 32 GB?

_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This package provides two commands to quote and unquote the disallowed characters for url using the urn scheme, registers the scheme with
the package uri, and provides internal helpers which will be automatically used by the commands uri::split and uri::join of package uri to
handle urls using the urn scheme.

This commands performs the reverse of ::uri::urn::quote. It takes an urn url, removes the quoting from all disallowed characters,
and returns the modified urls as its result.
