If no Windows boxes will need to access the drive, I would also
recommend non-journaled HFS+ (Macs call it also "Mac OS Extended"). 
It's native to OS X, Linux has a full read/write support for it, and
you get to preserve UNIX style file ownerships, permissions, symbolic
links, etc.  Just make sure it's non-journaled, because, as other
readers pointed out, Linux can only read journaled HFS+, not write to
it.

There are few Fedora packages you might need or find useful:
hfsplus-tools, hfsplusutils.
