That's basically right. I don't keep track of them, but last I heard there was at least one native linux driver that had partial write support. Although it comes with warnings not to use it in write mode, hence it's not enable by default. It may have improved since then. There was also something called captive, from memory, that used the windows ntfs driver for read write support. Both aren't really an option for distros to support out of the box, but can be enabled with a bit of google research and some effort. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
