(many hepls, manuals and opinions here)

as i known this pacage is included in ubuntu


using it about 2 months
- accesing profiles of firefox and thunderbird stored on ntfs every day (and shared with 
windows)
- reading and writing some text files stored on ntfs every day
- saving and playing movies (i haven't space to save on ext3)

and no problems yet

but i'm going to change ntfs to native fs due to occasional slowness
