OT: AFAIK the distro Xandros Desktop Linux has NTFS support (unfortunately it'll cost money).

I have Mandrake Linux 10.1 and it's NTFS support is fine, when I'm on Linux I use it to play my music collection from the Windows partition. I don't quite trust it enough to actually write to the drive though. (You can download the CD Images over FTP for free)

btw, if you look at most EXT2/3 explorers for windows they will equivalently tell you that writing to the partition is a dangerous experimental feature ...

Just because it has less been tested and that it could interfere with some custom things you may have pushed in the other system that the explorer couldn't be aware of.

NTFS read is full suported in linux
but writing has not got lot of tests

i think they are not sure about that, because Microsoft is keeping, some secrets about NTFS system file, also, there is some minor differences between different NTFS versions, that make it hard to test.


personally, I use ReiserFs and i m happy :)
