Anyone have any expierence with DVD burners? I'm looking to buy my first and was interested in the Sony DRU510A but I want to make sure it's gonna work in Linux. Any suggestions or info would be greatly apprieciated.

I would also like to know more about DVD burners that work well with Linux specifically suse. I heard the LG GMA-4020B works with Linux.

AND

It says suse supports any drive that connects to the ide or scsi bus.

you can use cdrecord-prodvd, for private use you can get a free key.

I have a dvd300i will it work with any version of Linux and which one.

That's an HP, right? I'm now looking at the TDK, pionerr, and Plextor offerings. I will be using it with debian/unstable 2.6 kernel. Thanks.
