help me decide on disk readers
I'm forever getting closer to building my own system (at least I got the case now!), and have pretty much settled it will be an intel p4 mobo, and a winXP/linux dual boot. One area that is confusing me is CD/DVD arena, with so many differenct implementations I've found. I'd like to get some suggestions what would be a good strategy on this. My first thought is to get a cd-rw, and a separate dvd-rom. Then there are the "combo" drives, and now the dvd-rw or dvd+rw (I'm so confused). The most important for me is linux must be bootable from one of these devices with the least amount of trouble and confusion in initial configuration. It looks like cd-rw might be ok in this regard, but not dvd-rom? What combination has best worked for you?
