One does *not* replace another. If you had to make do with one, a full-featured NTFS driver for Linux would be the best from a migrational PoV. Which system do you *want* to spend the most time in? Ext[23] from MS-Windows seems to being addressed at least three times, NTFS for Linux not quite once. It makes sense to me to put more effort into bringing the NTFS-for-Linux up to par - *if* you have a choice - than to polish the extN-for-MS-Windows driver. Cheers; Leon
