Hi Gang...

Googling here and there, I found very little web sites that talks about recommended Linux-compatible DVD RW drive. So, I try my luck here...perhaps you have recommendation? Preferrably below US$ 100? FYI I am currently using Fedora 9 and kernel 2.6.30.4

Thanks in advance for your help and attention...

We currently use the "Buffalo external DVD RW" (http://www.buffalotech.com/products/optical-drives/mediastation/) in our Linux-only lab. It works well, and is well below 100 USD.

HTH, Amit
