By 100% do you mean preserving the permissions and all that?  Short
answer is not really.  NTFS has more permissions switches than *nix
does, IIRC.

If you mean pretty bomb-proof read/write capability, then yes.  I'm
able to read and write to and from my NTFS drives from within Ubuntu
9.10.  I don't know if it uses a vanilla kernel module or a 3rd party
module though.  I just use what's provided with the current Ubuntu
installations.

I'm working. Bah and Humbug.  (On the plus side, I //think// I get
holiday pay plus I have about 6 hours of OT for the week, so this
week's check will look pretty nice.)

My added subject - I have passed the first two of four CCNA classes
with grades of 96% or better.  YAY!
