Fully Open Source NTFS Support Under Linux

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the long-time-coming dept.

lord_rob the only on writes "The Linux NTFS project has released a beta version of its fully open source userspace (using FUSE) 3G-Linux NTFS support driver. According to the developer, this driver beats hands down other NTFS support solutions performance-wise (including commercial Paragon NTFS driver and also Captive NTFS, which is using windows ntfs.sys driver under WINE)." That's right, writing to NTFS even works. Soon it'll mean one less recovery disk to keep around, I hope.

    So, you guys are stealing from MS again? Where the fuck is the innovation? Come on all you Linux whiners; where is your outrage about another MS idea being stolen? Oh but that's right... To quote your leader:

    "If you want to travel around the world and be invited to speak at a lot of different places, just write a Unix operating system." (By Linus Torvalds)

    Too bad he wasn't more honest and said "just STEAL your ideas from everyone else and call it a Unix operating system" You're all nothing but fucking thieves!
