Yes and Mandrake can read NTFS out of the box.
I would vote no.
If you want, find a doze utility to read/write ext2 and ext3.
I am planning to set-up my computer with Windows XP, Red hat 9, Mandrake 9 and FreeBSD. Which partitions can be share between them? So far I've figured that I can share the /swap and /home between the Linux/BSD. What other partitions can be shared? Does Linux read and write FAT32? And if so, can I make my /home partition FAT32 and share it between Linux and Windows? Any help would be appreciated....

What I ment by share was to access it. Possible use it for the "My
Doents" and "Home" folder. If not just to have someplace to access
files in both systems.

You cannot have a FAT32 home directory because FAT does not understand
permissions. Linux install programs won't mount /home on FAT. You could
try moving it later but I'm pretty sure the system wouldn't even let you
login, certainly not into X.
Of course, you can make a FAT32 partition and put your data there. Then
just link your Windows "My Doents" there, and link it to something like
/home/brian/mydocs in Linux.
