Hello again
1. I must remember you that SuSE linux is a very usefull distro
for beginners an professionals;
But for a busy server you must use debian or if you really want to use one of SuSE products I suggest
"Suse Linux Enterprise server "or
"SuSE linux open exchange server "
but the latter is better.
2. And the link of Libranet download mirrors is:
http://www.libranet.com/download.html
3. If you want to add another H.d.D with ntfs file system
simply you must edit your "/etc/fstab" and your new H.D.D
will be recognised just after your first reboot.If you dont want to reboot the server you simply can mount new device using
" mount /dev/hdx /mnt/newhdd " command as root;where "x"
will be one of alphabets between a-z ;If you have one hdd
and your new device is second you must type "hdb" and if you have two hdd`s and the new device is third you must type "hdc" and so go on;
4.http://www.debian.org The home site of debian project
Good Luck;

NAME

DESCRIPTION

     The ntfs.util command supports the mounting, probing, and unmounting of NTFS file systems.

		       device contains a valid NTFS file system, its label is printed to the standard output stream.
	   -u	       Unmount the NTFS file system located at device and mounted on mountpoint.

     The mountflags referenced above are:
