Since I use both OS I have found that keeping your data on a fat32 drive is
beneficial. Both OS can see it with no problems. I find this particularly
useful when I am browsing with either OS and see a file I want for the other
OS. I simply download it to the fat32 drive and it will be available for the
appropriate OS the next time I boot.

This engineering desktop has been just Linux for a couple years, ever
since VariCad optioned for the OpenDWG consortium.
The original (slower) Linux machine has the CD-ROM burner and an NFS
partition.
xCD-Roast backup ISO outputs from here go automatically to that NFS
space for burning.
Being a SOHO means most of the large office complications can be ignored
for a while.
