	Only comment I have is that get some references for the Linux
compatibility with the Samsung.  Recently I searched for Linux DVD
writer compatibility and the only thing I found was HP was generally
well supported and worked fine.  That is why I went out and got a
discontinued model of HP DVD Writer at Circuit City.
	
	Snip of a very nice list AFAIK.
