GParted recognizes FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, ext2, ext3, ext4, swap, and many other formats but labels the FreeBSD partition as unknown.

However, I'm sure it will be worth it, as BSD is legendary for stability and is the basis for Mac OS and other proprietary systems. I think this is the 2nd time you've asked something that is covered in the Handbook. Possibly you haven't gotten to the section yet (it's under Chapter 3): http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disk-organization.html Scroll down to "Benefit of a single file system" and read from there. P.S. -- Just because learning BSD is more difficult doesn't mean BSD is better (yes, you read that right). Every operating system has its pros and cons.
