Pyrotechnician_2004:
This rules, we all use Linux here (my dad is using Mandrake 9.0 because he managed to break Debian trying to modify the kernel   :(  but if he can burn that would rule, Mandrake is looking very nice (i've seen Mandrake 10.0 in action), I think I might dual boot Mandrake 10.0 & Fedora Core 1 because I might not be too sure about Mandrake in the end.

Knoppix can, and the latest Linux kernel can certainly.

Are you sure about that? I tried Knoppix and it said readable: no for my NTFS hard drives.

edit: oops, I meant writable.

Anyway, is there full NTFS support for Linux these days? I've tried to find that out but no luck. One source says it's "experimental", one says no, one says read-only.

NB: I have no experience with Linux apart from using Knoppix a few times so if you give me an answer even a little complicated, I probably won't understand it.

Mandrake 10.0 is kinda buggy, you're best off with 9.2 IMO.

Well it's still classified as experimental I think, but last I heard, kernel 2.6 could do reads and writes safely, but writes are slow.
