"Linux can't write to NTFS (by default). "

That used to be true. Starting with Ubuntu 8.04 and up (Hardy Heron) that capability has been included.

As well, even if you don't use that, there is an utility/driver called ntfs-3g that allows it.

Yep, looks like my knowledge is out of date. I look forward to trying out these drivers -- I've been waiting a long time for stable NTFS write on Linux.

I wonder if somebody has the same for the Mac?
