Yes. Pardon me while I scream for a minute...

This same question comes up every 4 days!!!!! How many people can
pronounce "Search Engine"? How many people know the bleeping MEANING
of SEARCH ENGINE????

google "linux ntfs r/w" 6,010 hits.

I'll give you one bit of info that you might not find readily -
Paragon "Read everything" or "write everywhere" - whatever the exact
name is - doesn't work. Actually, here's a second freebie - Captive
NTFS works great with RedHat 9. I hit a problem with it once, trying
to copy a 45 Gb file - the lufs work file in /tmp got trashed somehow.
I deleted it and remounted everything. end of problem.
