Hmm, reading the wiki thanks to the link you've provided I stumbled upon: "..Linux users can read exFAT using the free linux kernel patch." http://userweb.kernel.org/~hirofumi/exfat/exfat.tar.gz
Are we to trust this? Going to a site reference provided (a newsgroup) by a link, I read that that patch is pre-alpha grade. Not ready for prime time.
Anyway, what's the consensus? Is exFat going to be a Good Thing? MArk Allums

Are there any implementations (even merely read-only) yet? The license is probably unclear; FAT has patents, but we use FAT32/vfat anyway.The point is, it has a lot of nice features, it is quite a good choice for USB flash drives.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT MArk Allums
