The driver under http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/ is currently said of :
o    Still read-only, but with safe file overwrite support on all 
Windows versions without changes to the file size and if the file is 
over 1 kB.
Sad but true, no 100% write support for NTFS.

I still believe that a LiveCD would be a great tool for (not only) 
beginners. E.g. I am using SuSE, but in order to install application A I 
need the gnome developper libraries, for application B I need Qt set up. 
Then the hell of finding the right libraries etc.
RPM based systems are better but not by much. I have to find the 
application I want in RPM format inclusive all neccesary libraries. This 
might work for the big tools but for some smaller application there 
might be nothing left but to compile from source. And lastely have you 
tried to find RPMs for lets say SuSE 7.2 of kdenlive or dvdauthor ?

Also imagine if the user does not like the set of tools he exeprimented 
with, so he uninstalls them or leaves them on the system. Keeping up to 
date is another sad story.

I think there are compelling reasons for the Multimedia community to 
have one nice, up-to-date Live CD around and if it is only to show off 
at your friends house. What, you have problems with your video cutting 
software under that other OS .. Let me show YOU ... (clinck).
