hi all, new here, and new to linux.
basically I'm trying to take my first steps out of M$ world....
so Knoppix is my first try.
what I wanted to ask is - - I've read all these warnings about the NTFS file systems. currently I have Windows XP Home installed, with only one partition on my HD, and it is NTFS. is it safe for me to use Knoppix? what can and can't I do without causing any damage? will just trying to access the data on my HD do any harm? or do I really need to repartition before I get going?
Thanks
