Are there some better know rewritable cd burners for linux? How about DVD, are there any that play DVD as well? I realize DVD isn't supported in

This is a christmas present for our son, currently running SuZSE 6.3, any recommendations will be sincerely appreciated.
I have had excellent results with my Yamaha CD-RW If you are looking for a CD-RW/DVD-ROM combination drive your options are Ricoh, Samsung and Toshiba. (These are the OEMs, don't be surprised to find other brand names. IIRC, Memorex sells Ricoh). Another option is DVD-RAM manufactured by Panasonic, Toshiba and Hitachi. I also understand that all are supported since about kernel 2.2.15. (Again these are only the OEMs) FWIW, I've also used Samsung, Panasonic and Toshiba DVD-ROM drives with success. Good luck, Tim
