[Cialug] HFSPlus and Linux

[Jim Asbille]

When I first got my iPod it was formated for Mac and I was using it under
Suse 10.0.  It never did work.  I formatted it for Windows and it has been
bliss ever since.  I currently use OpenSuse 10.2.  The Mac format is
supposed to be supported in Linux, maybe it is a Suse thing or maybe the
support is dodgy overall.  If you can format it for Windows then do.
