Mandrake 8.2

[Rich Edelman]

Mandrake 8.2 isn't going to be in the stores until late April, if I'm 
correctly remembering what I read on Mandrake's site. Samba can read an NTFS 
partition, it's really filesystem independent. Although from what you said it 
sounds like you want to dual boot Mandrake and XP on the same machine. 
There's kernel level support for READING an NTFS filesystem, and 
experimental/dangerous support for writing to an NTFS filesystem, but the 
writing portion of that will fsck up your drive. Guaranteed.
