[Tfug] Portable USB hard drive

A WD "My Book" that is.

               I want to store movies/videos on it. Unfortunately it's 
comes pre-formatted
with  [Id =  c] W95 FAT32 (LBA) ,and that doesn't take file sizes > 4G. 
You call the store,
(SWS), and they say "format it with [Id = 86] NTFS". But I wonder if 
it's better to  just
go ahead and format it with plain old [Id = 83] Linux. Any thoughts?
