A Beginner Installing Ubuntu / Kubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron - Part Six - NTFS Configuration Tool Is Fantastic
In the past I have fought and kicked and screamed and threatened to destroy my poor old computer, Penguin. Just because I couldn’t get my NTFS disk drives configured and have them stay that way. NO MORE will I have that problem. I found “NTFS Configuration Tool” in the Ubuntu / Kubuntu list of programs to install. It is so simple to use it almost makes me cry when I think of all the problems I have had in the past. Here is the long and the short of it.
Start up Synaptic Package Manager and search for “ntfs” you will find “ntfs-config” in the list.
After you install it you will find it in the “System” menu.
Run it, you will be asked for your password, and you will find two choices.
“Enable write support for internal device”
“Enable write support for external device”
That’s all there is to it. It found my disk, set them up and I am now a Very Happy Penguin 
That’s all for today. I’ll be back before long with more of the ramblings from a new Linux user.
Have a Great Day.

Guys,
My KDE 4 panel acts weird. When some application is opened and minimized there seem to open two tabs for a single application. Even when I open dolphin I get two tabs of Dolphin(instead of one) on the desktop panel. I’m not able to find out the reason. Now a days nothing appears on the tab when I minimize any sort of application.
