134 <h4>Development Status</h4>
135
136 <p>Project is no longer developed. The key functionality is reached
137 by the latest released version. All its resources are available
138 @{[ a_href 'CVS.html.pl#source','here' ]} for download.</p>
139
140 <h4>Known Issue</h4>
141
142 <p>Captive was written to interface with the Linux kernel via
143 @{[ a_href 'http://lufs.sourceforge.net/lufs/','LUFS' ]}.
144 Unfortunately, this project is no longer being maintained by its author.
145 Mounting of NTFS devices usually works, but is no longer supported by the
146 author of Captive. Always unmount the device by umount(8) command before shutting
147 down your GNU/Linux system.</p>
148
149 <p>A port of Captive to the newer
150 @{[ a_href 'http://fuse.sourceforge.net/','FUSE' ]}
151 interface has not yet been implemented.
152 There is an experimental LUFS-FUSE bridge called
153 @{[ a_href 'http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=121684','lufis' ]}
154 that can be used in the meanwhile.
155 Also, the captive-cmdline(1) interface will get around any kernel compatibility
156 problems.</p>

180         <li>Hospital of Castelo Branco - Bruno Santos
181                 <p>we are preparing the machines to install another system that will allow
182                 the digitalization of medical images - PACS (picture archive and
183                 communication system).</p>
184
185                 <p>since the computers that are need are about 100 and we need to install
186                 windows in all of them (even we have an almost automated instalation - but
187                 requires some administrator interaction). So, we want to install

193                 <p>Ok, I'm impressed (@{[ a_href 'http://www.amunra.co.uk/archives/000028.php','Captive Review' ]})</p>
194                 <p>Linux software generally has a reputation for having some great, novell
195                 ideas, but often lacking in the general 'spit and polish' - difficult to
196                 install, unreliable, and so on. However the latest program I have tried out
197                 - Captive, is a breath of fresh air - simple to install and set up, and It
198                 Just WorksTM. And not only that, it's probably one of the most useful and
199                 technically impressive projects I've seen in a long time ...</p>

202         <li>Derek J Witt
203                 <p>I commend you for this project. I am currently using this on my XP NTFS
204                 partitions and I am impressed that I can actually move, edit, and remove files
205                 and directories with no apparent ill effects. This is very nice indeed.</p>
206                 <p>I initially was skeptical because it uses wine and parts of ReactOS
207                  (I have messed with this OS a few times), but you have proved me wrong. I have
208                 noticed no lag on my system.  I do notice the initial mounting process does
209                 take slightly longer than the Linux-NTFS project. But, once I'm past that, it's
210                 quite transparent.</p>

215                 <p>I just installed captive and it worked as advertized right out of the
216                 rpm.  Thanks, I've been holding off recompiling my kernel until NTFS is
217                 supported out of the box for Redhat.  Now I don't have to bother.</p>
