Review title: Works great, using Linux
Product review: I am probably the minority here, but I live 100% MS free, and run all my stuff on Linux. Specifically, I am using Mandrake (now Mandriva) version 10.1 on this machine. This drive worked right out of the box, recognized as a standard IDE drive, and k3b (my cd/dvd burning app of choice) recognized and setup for this drive with no hitch. Have burned a number of CD's and DVDs (write once, Data only) without any problems.have not tried any r/w media or burned any multimedia stuff (movies, audio cds etc), but am quite happy so far with the drive.
