For Linux, the partition it's going to be using has to be ext2 or ext3 right?

very good tutorial. very appreciated.

One question here please. I want to format my ext drive (usb 2) to ext3. Do I have to make it primary partition or something else. I want to use this drive with buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH router as a permanent NAS drive. The router has this ability and usb port as well. but only accepts FAT32 which is useless for me or ext3 as the router is based on Linux. Many thanks in advance!!
