A few days ago someone asked about a burner that was supported by linux. I must have deleted... thus the new thread, and just the FYI- I just looked at my new LaCie 300980 internal that I bought for a mac. Double Layer and Light Scribe. The box also says: Linux: Tested with K3b v.012.14 with Mandriva 2006, / Fedora Core 4 / SUSE 10 / Unbuntu 5.10 (Software not included) Again, I've not tested if it's true yet... but it's on my list of thing to do. (It should tell you something it being Sunday-Monday and that I'm just now opening up something I receive friday.) I have bought quite a few items from LaCie and have never had any issues with them. $80 @ CompUSA. (US) I think they have cheaper models... I also have a Mad Dog Megastore (not sure of model) external DL burner, but never got it to work, but I think it was a USB thing... not the drive. I didn't feel like yanking it out of the case to find out. Thanks, George
