Well from my .config I see

# CONFIG_NTFS_FS is not set
# CONFIG_NTFS_RW is not set

So I believe though I do not have it configured it is in the stock
kernel. It is just experimental and no distro wants to be the one
responsible for trashing the ntfs disks on a server b/c they use
possibly buggy drivers. Except I guess mandrake from what I hear here.
