Works great with Ubuntu. I didn't even notice that it was formatted for a Mac. This is great for trading files between a Mac and Linux as Linux works much better with USB 2.0 and OS X works much better with Firewire. Copied all my vmware images (with all the software I wanted installed) and websites over to the drive. Oh, btw: mine is only 160 Gb - that is the smallest capacity model.
