They works ok, like any other WinNT machine. However, I haven't
tryed to mount an NTFS partition from Linux, yet.
The worst: I used Partition Magic 7 to resize the NTFS partition.
Its a commercial tool. If you can convert it to FAT32, you can
do it.
AFAIK, the NTFS support on Linux always has been experimental
for reading, and very experimental for writing.
I had some problems with my installation, because the network
card hasn't support on kernel-2.2.20 and I like to install from
net :-)
