see i personally like Linux, but at the same time I cant force it on others,
and this itself goes against freedom to choose. Pendrives are used to
transfer data, and in my lab I just cant force people everybody to adopt
Linux ( by d way Linux is used in my lab for computational work).
I understand this group is
about Linux, but at the same time we cant be obsessed with it. Regarding
NTFS, I wud be glad if the same can be added to gparted GUI is easy to use
for people like me. If u wont have support for windows, I am sorry Linux
cant progress as it will be a locked system.
