[lug] Setting up NTFS partition on Dual boot Microsoft/Linux machine

[David L. Willson]

NTFS has no sticky bit. That's Linux/UNIX. 

I've been using NTFS to share stuph between for about a year or so. Works well for me, and doesn't have a low file-size limit. A bit slow when doing very large transfers, but that's all.
