Yes linux can read NTFS, go to your nearby Barnes & Noble or Borders and get a
copy of the latest 2600, it has a few neat articles in it about using Trinux
(http://www.trinux.org) to access NTFS partitions (ntfs.o module).  Pretty neat,
I have the distro downloaded on two floppies and I also have it set to load
ppa.o which lets me use my parallel port zip drive for emergency data recovery.
