If you want to share files between either win2k or winxp and linux
installed on the same machine, you will need to have the windows root
partition (thats C: in windows-speak) as a fat32 drive. However as
this is not recommended for security and performance, the best
compromise is to have C: as an NTFS partition (this is the default
IIRC) and have a seperate fat32 partition to keep files on that you
wish to access from both OSes.

If however you have a windows machine and a linux machine on a
network, file systems don't matter at all because you just use samba
to share files/printers (normal windows file sharing - SMB or CIFS).
