33 <para>
34 The <application>Ntfs-3g</application> package contains a stable,
35 read-write open source driver for NTFS partitions. NTFS partitions are
36 used by most Microsoft operating systems. Ntfs-3g allows you to mount
37 NTFS partitions in read-write mode from your Linux system. It uses the
38 FUSE kernel module to be able to implement NTFS support in user space.
39 </para>
40 <para>
41 This package contains both the NTFS-3g driver itself and various utilities
42 useful for manipulating NTFS partitions.
