All you need to do is type one single command to install ntfs support. It's not any more difficult to learn than other distros. Back when I started learning Linux I started with Fedora and had Linux down in like a week.

Please read this guide provided by Fedora which explains how to enable NTFS support.

The Distro is a very personal issue.

In my instance we use exclusively Red Hat for Safety Critical Applications and my industry would not have it otherwise. I caused some comotion by introducing CentOS for a related tool, let alone something like Ubuntu or Sabayon. However I use Slackware on my Laptop and I also would not have it any other way. It is difficult to say why someone likes a distribution but it is usually relates to the training, the willingness, the possibility to learn new things and where applicable, the official policies.

As for Fedora, it is the Red Hat test bed. That is its strong point and also its weakness. Personally I like it but it has too many limitation like no default MP3 support. Yet I suppose that with enough hacking you can tailor it to your taste. The Distro choice is what sets Linux a world apart from other proprietary OSes. On other OSes you simply do not get that freedom.

Personally I find Fedora much easier than any other distro (I ran suse for my first real go around).

Fedora has changed in the last couple of years. It has dropped legacy support, support is now for only about a year(which I understand). It has also stopped cleaning up bug reports from previous versions (which I do not understand). There are now tons of bug reports that originally appeared in F7 (and many from FC6) that are still with us in F9. In the past Fedora seemed to be much better about cleaning up after themselves. When the legacy support dropped it was reasonable to switch my servers (server software advances at a relatively slow pace, so few real advance occur over any three year period) over to Centos. This was when FC5 hit EOL. Since then I have continued to use Fedora on my desktops. But the number of unresolved bugs that effect my daily task has grown large enough that if F10 does not see a marked improvement in this area, I will likely move my desktops to Centos (or something) too. It is an extremely unfortunate turn of events.
