Hi all !

So I suggest moving to Linux_ext2, Linux_swap, or maybe simply Linux and
Linux_swap (since ext2 is not the only filesystem Linux may put on
these). Using a different type for swap would help avoiding confusion.

I agree. I think this is a good step. However there's the obvious interoperability
problems with MacOS, OS X etc... Hopefully Apple's OSes wouldn't do anything evil
to the partition they don't recognize.

As someone real important said a couple of weeks ago:
Don't trust them.


You know the slogan of Apple ;)
