I do have a "shared" FAT32 partition that I use for storage of shared
stuff and junk in general. It has consistently grown at the expense
of the win98 partition. (I keep the two partitions separate so I can
mount them with different permissions.)
One nice thing to have is a shared swap partition between doze and linux.
I keep a 100MB partition on my 'doze drive that I use for swap in both
OS's (though I haven't booted 'doze in months); this way, memory swapping
(which happens too much for me) and other disk activity won't interfere
with each other.

I think it is recommended that you spread your swap over different drives:
linux can use them in a raid-ish formation that makes swap faster.
