I did a search on their knowledge base and they had a method for detecting if a file system uses FAT or NTFS so I guess they do support NTFS. Here (http://help.lindows.com/cgi-bin/lindows.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_sid=9EO97e4h&p_lva=&p_faqid=116&p_created=1023835703&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9NSZwX 3NlYXJjaF90ZXh0PU5URlMmcF9wYWdlPTE*&p_li=) is the link I am referring to.

Their knowledge bas can be searcehd from their we b site - Lindows.com.

As well, I got info on what ATI Cards are suported by Lindows by putting "ATI" into their search form. They have a HCL for ATI Cards here (http://help.lindows.com/cgi-bin/lindows.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_sid=HxiM7e4h&p_lva=&p_faqid=367&p_created=1046297562&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9NCZwX 3NlYXJjaF90ZXh0PUFUSSZwX3BhZ2U9MQ**&p_li=).

So as you can see - probably the best first place for you to have looked for this stuff would have been Lindows.com.

For any more compatibility questions, you can search on http://www.lindows.com/compatibility
