I'm not sure what you mean by "3rd party software" with respect to Linux.
If you mean "not made by the Linux kernel or GNU projects", that applies to much (most?) of the software available for Linux.
If you mean "proprietary", then NTFS-3G is GPL: http://www.tuxera.com/community/open-source-ntfs-3g/ http://www.tuxera.com/community/open-source-ntfs-3g/
- lmz 12y agoYes, but drivers for common filesystems usually reside in the kernel, including the read-only NTFS implementation.
- dghf 12y agoFair enough. But in this case, the userland drivers are easy to install (if they're not a default part of your distro of choice) and work without a hitch, at least in my experience.
