Default Ubuntu question

I hope you guys don't mind but i have a feeling that i'm going to be asking a lot of questions as a try to learn linux. I have ubuntu loaded on my hard drive as the only operation system. Can it read a hard drive partioned with ntfs? And what file system does linux use?

Yes Linux can write to NTFS (a more detailed answer would be x86,amd64,ARM can)

The package you need todo it is ntfs-3g
from a command line sudo apt-get ntfs-3g

You can do it from the GUI installer util and search for ntfs, but the command-line is handy for posting on forums


What filesystem does linux use? it uses quite a few
The most common is ext3 (with ext2 used where journalling isn't needed)
but the kernel source speaks enough

Code:

You can also read the ext2 filesystem from Winwoes with the freeware Ext2fs dirver.
