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.

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.
