[xubuntu-users] Installing XU in monopolized disk

[João Santiago]

What do you think about this scheme: Windows NTFS, /home partition, xubuntu

btw: Ubuntu can't write to NTFS partitions right? but it can read them, does
that mean that i can, for instance, open, from within xubuntu,  a movie file
located in the NTFS partition?
