[dba-Tech] Which disk format to choose for Linux?

I'm re-purposing an old HP Intellistation and dedicating it to Ubuntu
Linux. To prepare for the transformation, I'm running MiniTool Partition
Wizard. The choices it offers are NTFS (irrelevant), Ext2, Ext3, and Ext4.
Does it matter to Ubuntu which I select? Or will it just see the drive as a
Linux drive in whatever format, and then subdivide it as it thinks best?
