I am agnostic when it comes to operating systems, but wouldn't this question be better asked in one of the many, high quality Linux forums?

I generally find that Linux forms are dominated by those who are more than willing to explain why I am an idiot and a jerk for running Windows.

Even if you ask a Linux question? Huh... worse than here, then.

Samba is for sharing files over a network. It has nothing to do with NTFS.

It is highly recommended not to write to an NTFS files system from Linux.
Almost all Linux distros will give you read only access. Some you can
configure for write access but at some point you generally end up with file
system corruption on the NTFS partition if you go this route. The best way
to move files back and forth is with a FAT32 partition.

The ACLs get mixed up and when chkdsk tries to correct it there are
sometimes problems. Chkdsk is actually the culprit that messes up the file
system. That has been my experience. It was a while ago but I haven't heard
of any open source fixes. This looks like it might work.

SUSE Linux 10.1 can read NTFS. I tested it on my laptop which also had Windows XP on the first partition.

You just need a kernel with NTFS support (either compiled in, or loaded as a module).
You get your choice of Read-only (safe) or Read-Write (use with caution!).
Distributions only deal with which support programs are included (base, fdisk, ifconfig, etc.)
Regardless of which distribution you want to use, the kernel needs the NTFS support as described above.
