I don't know anything about Apple products either.....  But, for one,
NTFS would never come to my mind with regards to Linux or Apple.  NTFS
being a MS invention would be a key indicator of Apple's desire to
support NTFS. 

Using google, one can find out about Apple products.  I used it for a
short time just now....  Seems that the default file system for Leopard
is/was HFS+.  They may be (did?) switch to ZFS.  (I didn't do extensive
research for you....)

HFS+ support is available in Fedora.  So, I would probably go with that.
