Hi,

OS X can read ext2 and ext3 formatted disks using an extra app. For ext2:
<http://www.versiontracker.com/php/search.php?mode=basic&action=search&str=ext2&plt%5B%5D=macosx&x=13&y=8>.
Can't remember what you need for ext3.

As for HFS+: YellowDogLinux can read and write HFS and HFS+ disks so I
suspect that Ubuntu can too. Check the archives to see if someone else
has posted here on this topic (& I think they have).

Eric.
