I flirted with Xandros for about a year and the ONE thing that I thought was amazing was at how well integrated their OS was abloe to treat NTFS drives.
I was able to dual boot, OR just slap in an NTFS drive w/o re formatting and X4 read it right off.
looking around I was able to find that X4 was using a proprietary Paragon NTFS driver.
Sigh, thats what the $ was for.
THEN in my new Linux + (or Format, or Pro) magazine, I get a new cd that says that IT has an open edition version of their NEW driver:
I think this may be whats on the CD: http://www.ntfs-linux.com/home/personal/
I havent tried it YET, but then I'm running KDE4 and 2008.1, so I have to look and see if I have NTFS-3g installed.
ALthough in the past NTFS-3g seems to have worked pretty well, the paragon driver worked amazingly well.
anyway if anyone has any experience witth it I'd love to hear it.
