Most big distros have NTFS read.
NTFS write support is still in early, early beta. It works (I've done it
in Ubuntu) but they tell you to back up your drive before you write to
it. :)

Genious. Sheer, plain genious.
We're an early seeder, so I've had access to the final Distros for the
last
two days and we've been playing around with it. Let me tell you a few
things that are worth noting:
* The install was done on two PCs, one a Core 2 Duo on a 965P board (the
Gigabyte). It recognized and correctly configured all devices, audio,
video (a 7950GT) as well as set performance on SATA drives. It
recognized a USB Wireless NIC and was able to do WPA to our router
(something I've had significant difficulties with in Linux in the past).
The second PC, an AMD
4400+ on the Asus A8N32-SLI correctly configured also, found all drivers
4400+ out
of the box and ran with no issues.
* Xen support within it is fantastic.
* New game based support under Transgamer allowed for fluid use of games
like World of Warcraft and Civilization IV, the only two games we tried.
It was indistinguishable from Windows XP as to their performance (IMHO),
while I'm sure benchmarks may say different, I was impressed.
* The new KDE interface is fluid and intuitive - far more so then MS
Vista at this point, and the inbuilt features in the full version - like
LinDVD (bundled from Intervideo) offered great features like passing
AC3/DTS and decoding as well.
I'm not saying that Mandriva 2007 is going to be my regular platform,
but this is as close to a solid-consumer friendly desktop format of
Linux ever.
Period. This is a major leap over Mandriva 2006, and I think a lot of
people will be seriously impressed with the feature set.
The install is painless. The performance is excellent. Support for
hardware is, frankly, better then Vista 5600/5728 at this point. On
Monday, Mandriva will release the torrents to the Club members and
shortly after that to the public. Let me say this: if you're a club
member or if you are thinking about it, this is definitely a distro
worth grabbing.
