Novell says its Linux business has grown by 243 percent over the last three quarters, and it largely credits its deal with Microsoft.

Additional set of utilities for manipulation with ntfs partitions such as format, resize, undelete and etc. is accessible via ‘ntfsprogs’ package.

I love the updates they are talking about with Gutsy, I hope it does all it says. 😉
