sda1 mount issues in Fedora-3

My supervisor asked me to help him set up a Fedora - 3 Linux box in our operations center. No biggie, we got it up and running no problem. The issue came in when he wanted to connect an external hard drive to the system.

I know in Knoppix and Helix, that it is possible to mount NTFS drives. In a regular distro, is that not possible? I mean is it impossible to connect an NTFS external drive in Linux?

Help Me, Please?????

No, you can connect NTFS in a read-only manner in any system. Write support is experimental, or available through CaptiveNTFS.

FAT32 should be mountable with full read/write support with no problems. It's long been supported (since 2.0, I believe, certainly 2.2)
