Yes, it's true. Now, say you have a USB-stick or maybe even a external HDD wich use NTFS filesystem. Before it was kinda like a rule to not write to a NTFS-hdd when you where in LINUX. This is about to change since the NTFS-3g driver are released.
NB! NTFS-3g is currently under BETA, but are reported being stable.
I took it for a spin, and got no problems - tough it was not as fast as I hoped.
Requirements: FUSE
Install FUSE.
$ wget http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/fuse/fuse-2.5.3.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf fuse-2.5.3.tar.gz
$ cd fuse-2.5.3
$ ./configure
$ make
As root or sudo
$ sudo make install
Load the fuse-module (as root or sudo)
$ sudo modprobe fuse
Put 'fuse' in /etc/modules (depending on your distro) and /etc/modprobe.conf in Fedora (i should suppose).
THEN
Install ntfs-3g
$ wget http://mlf.linux.rulez.org/mlf/ezaz/ntfs-3g-20070714-BETA.tgz
$ tar -xvzf ntfs-3g-20070714-BETA.tgz
$ cd ntfs-3g-20070714-BETA
$ ./configure
$ make
As root or sudo
$ sudo make install
You should now be ready to hazzle around as much as you need/want too with your NTFS partition.
ENJOY! :)
