Nope, it's the other way round: you are running Fedora and
that is why you cannot (currently) access ntfs from linux.
While many linux-distros support ntfs out of the box, Fedora
does not ;-)

The problem is that you need a driver that makes
your linux understand ntfs. You can download such a
driver from our website, start reading here:

  http://www.linux-ntfs.org/content/view/120/59/

In short, download the right rpm for your kernel,
install it, modprobe it and you should be all set.

Take also a look at

  http://wiki.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=driver

to get some info on the kernel driver you are installing.
