hi, dvd-recorders are atapi-devices - you can use it with any os that supports atapi.. and linux is one of them. For the burners: ct had a big test some time ago. The NEC burner was not the fastest, but one with the best results, while LG and some others, burnt a lot of crap... of the worst kind - the dvd was written, and seemed to work more or less fine, but there were a lot of errors. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
