Sure. What does "supporting a file system" mean if you have only limited writing rights and you can't write new files?
From a Mandriva mailing list:
Le premier, Linux-NTFS ne permet que la lecture et l'écriture en mode
> remplacement seulement (considéré comme stable depuis le noyau 2.6.15),
> mais ni la création, ni la suppression de fichiers.
some progress but no real support :-(

NTFS support is not included in the Fedora Core kernel because of patent concerns.

... Or maybe RedHat is bound by the U.S. IP laws and cannot touch NTFS?
Though, if you'll be willing to pay RedHat's legal bills if/when they get sued by Microsoft, they may reconsider their decision.

How would Linux know how to handle the ntfs file system nicely? Send a friendly letter to Redmond, WA, ask them to release some code.
