AFAIK, linux can read and write FAT32 filesystems, and read the NTFS. Writing to NTFS can corrupt the filesystem, though. With a standard x86 Debian kernel, all you have to do is to mount the partition, possibly read-only. man mount for details. There is no reason to somehow unify the filesystems you use, you can have many filesystem types mounted at the same time; Linux/Debian should have no problem with this.
