    Linux can read FAT16 and FAT32

    There are also some experimental ways for Linux to use NTFS-- it generally works. http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/

    Obviously Linux can't actually be installed on a FAT or NTFS partition but it can read and write to those partitions.

    Read NTFS or FAT?

    You have to do nothing for FAT16 or FAT32. You can read NTFS, but in order to write to it you will have to do a little work. Not much though. That sourceforge link has some good info on it.
