DVD burner recommendations
I'm looking for a DVD burner, but I'm looking for one which is linux friendly. I was originally looking at the Plextor PX-708A because I've seen several good reveiws for it. After a little research, I've seen nothing but problems with this DVD+/-RW. I plan to buy Suse 9.1 in the next few weeks and wondered if anyone has any DVD burners they recommend (with any distro)?
Thanks!

I bought a Memorex DVD burner, and it works well in SuSE 9. It will hopefully work well in 9.1 as well (we'll find out in a few days).

time for a serious answer to the question.
I have a Pioneer A106D DVD-/+R/RW and it has not skipped a beat. (burnt about 10cds and 3 dvds so far in K3B and everythings smooth sailing)
There is the new A107 drives which are 8x and are essentually the same drive.

LG Super Multi (DVD+/- R/RW and RAM) does a good job, but I don't know how is DVD-RAM support under linux. I also use Fedora Core 1, and had some problems that made me hate SuSE, so I can't say how it works, but i guess that if it works with K3B, CDRecord, the toaster, my oven etc... under FC1 it should work also under SuSE...
