experience Ubuntu can read and write
to NTFS but with some of the programs run under Linux there seems to be
a problem. It could be me but I have been trying to get some of the
photo programs to scan my NTFS partitions without success. I have these
partitions as my computer is dual boot and I have photographs on the
NTFS partition from my Windows days. If I go to the partition directly
from Ubuntu I get asked for my root password and then I can do anything
on the partition. When trying to see these NTFS partitions from say
Digikam or Fspot it can't be done. I guess the problem is with me but it
is frustrating. Just my 2c experience.
