Linux to get reliable NTFS read/write support

Members of the original Linux-NTFS team have now created a promising new solution for using NTFS formatted drives in Linux without the use of any Microsoft code, drivers or files. Finally, Linux users will have reliable ability to both read and write reliably to Microsoft ’s NTFS filesystem, using this new driver that is currently in beta.

This is huge news for anyone who uses Linux on a regular basis. If you wanted to transfer files in between Windows and Linux reliably, you would have to use a FAT32 hard drive or thumb drive. This will just make things so much easier if it’s as stable as it promises to be.
