Yesterday while TSG was down I downloaded Puppy Linux. I had tried to get Knoppix before, but that takes forever! While playing with it I noticed that it didn't see any of my NTFS SATA drives (Two as RAID0 and the other as back up). How does Linux deal with NTFS and SATA/RAID drives?

Linux *should* be fine with sata/raid drives (I never had any problems). As for NTFS, Linux can only read NTFS formatted partitions and NOT write to them. But you will need to mount these drives. Do this through fstab: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html
Once the drive is mounted you can access data on these drives but you cannot modify them. There is limited ability to write to NTFS drives with third party applications/code, but this is rather dangerous.

Thanks for the info. I probably won't get to this until next weekend.
