I'm building my first PC, it will run Debian of course.
I'm buying the parts off of newegg.com and noticed that many of the
newer DVD burners have a SATA interface. I'm looking at getting both
the HDDs and the DVD burner with a SATA interface, but wasn't sure if it
could make the process more complicated from a Debian standpoint, and
wanted to see how safe of a bet it would be to use one.
I understand that the interface is faster and cleaner from a physical
standpoint, but more complicated and less tried and true from a software
standpoint.
I would prefer to have the option to playback DVD movies on this
machine, in the past I've had trouble getting smooth playback on a PC
versus a dedicated stand alone DVD player. This may only be an issue
with older machines, but I might be wrong in that assumption.
Any advice on this issue, or any issue in building a newer Debian PC
would be excellent.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I actually have nothing useful to add to the main discussion, but I
would like to thank you for bringing to my attention the widespread
availability of SATA burners. The last time I looked, there was only
one or two SATA models available anywhere. Thanks again.
Cheers,
Kelly
One thing that I forgot to ask about was Dual-layer DVD burning support
in Debian. How complicated is it to use a Dual-layer burner? I
appologize, I would gladly test it on my own, but I don't have the
hardware to find out, and buying it just to find out it isn't working
kind of defeats the purpose of asking in the first place. :p
Thanks again,
Dustin
