I've resised my NTFS partition no less than 5 times with partition magic.

None of the versions of RedHat that I've tried (7.1, 7.3, 8.0, 9.0) could 'resize' a partition. Yes, you can *change* the sizes, but this will effectively destroy the old partition and write a new one. All of the data will be lost.

And running FAT32 with linux is stupid anyway, Ext 2 or 3 is so much better.
...or Reiserfs.
My setup is something like this:

20 GB - WinXP - NTFS
5 GB - Slackware - ReiserFS
5 GB - RedHat - Ext3
10 GB - Multi-Platform Shared Files - Fat32

...not including swap and the logical/extended configuration...

Everything works smashingly - the RedHat and Slackware precompiled kernels seamlessly support Reser and Ext3, while I'm having troubles compiling some elements of my kernel in redhat, I have my NTFS partition mounted read-only via slackware, and everything can read and write to that, so I keep my music, software, etc. there.

Don't let the size of my NTFS partition fool you, though - Slackware is my primary OS; windows apps just take up so much goddamned space!
