The thing with Linux is you only have to ask anything is possible.

I have a small UPS's which has most of my important stuff plugged in.

You'll want to choose one of the user-friendlier distributions, they have GUIs to support service management. Ubuntu would probably be a good choice, I think.

When I was dual-booting Linux and Windows, I just went ahead and used old-fashioned FAT partitions to share data between the two OSs. They may be less efficient than NTFS, but they still work just fine.
I went the other way and use ext2 for sharing data between Linux and Windows, using Ext2 IFS. A lot of my files are large (12G+) video files and FAT just isn't cut for that. There are issues with using Ext2 IFS (ignores privileges, cannot handle ext3, can only handle 128 byte inodes), so one needs to take care when preparing new media and I would not rely on it if Windows was my main OS, but since I use Windows only when I absolutely have to (which is only about once every 12 to 18 months), it is fine for the purpose.
