what kind of file system is Linux using?

[Kenny Hitt]

Hi.  Linux can use several possible file systems.  Now days, the default
is usually ext3.  You should probably just leave the space you plan to
use for Linux as free space and let your Linux installer create the
partition and file system.

Hope this helps.
