Oh, but it is a distro thing, if one provides it with their stock 
kernel, but another does not.  That being said, I'll have to retract my 
previous statement which indicated that ntfs support comes with stock 
Mandrake kernels, since I never run stock kernels, I can't say this is 
for sure true...

I build module support for every FS known to Linux into my kernel. :) 
You never know when you might need to mount a Mac filesystem...

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
