Oh man... my 512MB Sandisk came from Buy.com too (the 1GB wasn't in stock :-().

I gave up on VFAT because I'm sure I'd forget to turn swap off before I plugged it into a Windows machine (and my luck it'd crash too).

But swap and ext2fs is a good idea - I setup 2 24MB swap partitions (I'm saving an extra 24MB in case I 'fry' the first 24 swapping - I guess I'm being 'half-empty' here) and the rest as ext2fs.

If you've got wireless access, Winscp (or scp from a *nix box) is almost as easy as using VFAT.
