I am using Ubuntu (7.10) on an old pc right now that has all of my music/videos/pictures. I will soon be getting a macbook for college and would like to have all of my music/pictures/videos/etc. on the macbook.
So I have this external drive with all my stuff that I figured I could just use to transfer my files.
*My problem is that my external is ext3 and I know OS X doesn't like to play nice with ext3. Basically I want to pursue the easiest route of getting everything from my linuxbox onto my new mac. Whether that's somehow getting the mac to work with ext3, or reformatting my external to a filesystem that does work with a mac, I am willing to take any and all suggestions.
