[nflug] Ubuntu DVD burner

[wpos2]

My recommendation as far as brand names is Lite On.  They're probably 
cheaper on average than HP burners, plus there's a great support 
community for Lite Ons.

But it sounds like you're aiming for light scribing capabilities.  In 
which case keep in mind that some NEC and Pioneer burners have Label 
Flash feature, which I'm led to believe is similar to Light Scribe, just 
to keep your options open.  Similarly, keep in mind some Yamaha burners 
which have Disc Tattoo (or DiscT at 2) capabilities.

If you're set on some kind of disc labelling system, here's my reasoning 
for sticking with HP and Light Scribe: it's most popular and therefore 
*probably* has the most support in the users' community.  HP also 
strikes me as pretty Linux friendly, tho I don't know off hand how this 
applies to Light Scribing.  (My guess is not at all.  Yet.)  But if disc 
labelling isn't important, then my recommendation is Lite On all the way.

I didn't say much in these 2 paragraphs, but I can confidently say that 
I have shared at least 99% of all that I know about the subject.  But 
keep in mind that any time that I use the word "probably," TAKE THAT 
WITH A GRAIN OF SALT.

Good luck and good burning.
