There are many NTFS drivers in use today. The most popular ones:

 - Captive NTFS (captive-ntfs)
 - Paragon NTFS (ufsd, commercial)
 - kernel NTFS driver (ntfs)
 - ntfsmount (ntfs-fuse)
 - NTFS-3G (ntfs-3g)

However many distibutions map ntfs-3g to be used for the 'ntfs' and 
'ntfs-fuse' file system types as well.
