1 It's been a couple years since I was in such a scenario, but I'd say that r
2 w speed was adequate for what I was trying to do ( access documents, music,
3 etc that resided on my Windows partition ). In looking at the NTFS-3G
4 driver, it seems like it might be cool to try out, though I can't comment on
5 how "safe" or "fast" it is being that I've not used it. It's been about 2
6 years since I've cut completely away from Windows ( at home ), and since
7 that time I've gradually begun to use ReiserFS, and for stuff that I want to
8 share to Windows computers ( ex. my wife's computer ( running Windows ) ), I
9 share that content via Samba.
