Accessing NTFS

[ruscook]

If it's for home use, i.e. only a few users. You can log on to each user
in windows and right click on My Documents and "move" that to a folder
on the FAT32 partition. Then in ubuntu you can do a symlink into each
users home directory of the relevant "my documents" directory. This is a
fairly transparent way to make the same docs structure available to
both. Unfortunately most of these approaches dont' give security other
than at the partition level so they have limited applicability outside a
home environment.
