That's a good way to do it. You can also
- install a 'driver' in XP that will let you read ext2/3 Linux
partitions (this is safe, since the ext2 format is freely available)
-- google for Ext2IFS I think
- or you can get read-write access to NTFS partitions in Linux with
some risk to your data. I think the FUSE project is currently the
safest way to do this. If you want more info, look for fuse-ntfs, or I
can try finding the right back-issue of Linux Format which discussed
it...
You can get read-only access to NTFS partitions in Linux safely --
look in the Ubuntu forums for NTFS, although I think this is
configured automatically.

That's the main problem at the moment. I read somewhere that the
person in charge of the Ubuntu documentation is planning to reorganise
it as part of the work on Feisty Fawn. I know it's not going to help
the forums, but the wiki and help.ubuntu.com (?) are good for
reference too, but badly organised.
Cheers,
Neil.
