MJ does not run on linux, yet :^) Maybe soon.

Linux can read ntfs, though it may require recompilation of your kernel. I've never tried to boot off a disk that was not ext2 or ext3 though.

Go ahead and laugh, if you want to add a file system to Windows, you have to buy a ddk from microsoft, a mere $1000 dollars. Or you can buy a product from someone else who did it.

I'd rather rebuild a kernel. (Especially since ntfs is a module, and so you don't need to rebuild the whole kernel, just the modules).

Slightly off topic I found this program can read /ext2&3 partitions directly from within Windows:

It saved my bacon a few days ago when I was "upgrading" from RedHat 7.2 to 7.3 on one of my servers and it went pear-shaped
