Yes, is not the same fs but MS use the same ID for both... that's why
fdisk is confused...

As previously say, it exists in Debian package in experimental. I had try
it a time ago but the version I use doesn't support the compressed format.
Because the compressed attribute is the only reason why I'm using NTFS
(frankly, with dosntfs, the security of having an NTFS side to a FAT FS is
really no more a reason... ;) I flushed it... and finally flushed NT at
all... Mainly, Linux, especially with Debian, give me everything I need...
I just find out the last reason why I really no more need a NTFS...
A GPL VRML browser named VR-WEB ... Just try to find some time to spend on
it and may be put it on deb... if no one else are interested to do it?
