| 424120 | 2006-01-25 06:06:00 | I remember seeing a ad on pcworld magazine about this linux distro that and read/ write NTFS filesystems and run windows programs and games all built in. And it cost, it wasn't free. Does anyone know the name? | JimboJones (1680) | ||
| 424121 | 2006-01-25 06:13:00 | Most distros these days have NTFS support, are you sure it wasn't on the PC World DVD a while back while contained a Knoppix live cd ? | Haze (3028) | ||
| 424122 | 2006-01-25 06:46:00 | I think you are thinking of Xandros, the commercial version. It comes with Crossover Office which allows you to run MS Office plus many other Windows programs. Not sure how flexiable it is with games, their website should have more details. http://www.xandros.com/ |

| 424123 | 2006-01-25 08:24:00 | like jen said, xandros game support is still very small. If you're interested then google for crossover office and check out the supported games list. NTFS support while comming along is still listed as experimental. I would avoid it and create a fat32 partition for sharing files until NTFS support is easy and listed as stable. |
