Wow, this was quick!

To make long story short: various distributions include NTFS support
with various degrees of integration, but concensus is that R/O access is
fairly stable, while R/W (if any) is just for those who like to live
dangerously. The project home is here:
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/redhat.html

I also got a pointer to ext2fs 'explorer' for various flavors of
Windows: http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm
As far as I understand from first glance at the site, it is not FS
driver in the sense that you can mount the volume.

Thanks to Dusan, Gavin, Sudheesh, Francisco, Brett and others who might
have replied in the meantime.

Great resource, this list!
