    most of Linux distros support NTFS read access out of box. there are a few packages which enables NTFS write access too. ntfs-3g is most promising and stable.

    SuSe mounts NTFS partition by default and you can read NTFS partitions.
    check this thread to install 'ntfs-3g' package for NTFS 'write' access.
