   I recently set up Debian Sarge 2.6 for someone who thought nothing could
match up to XP, and when he wanted to burn a disc told him to use Nautilus
(There is a burner add-on available). There were both a RO DVD/CD-ROM and a
R/W DVD/CD in the box, and I think that the reader appeared as an IDE-Atapi
and the writer as an IDE-SCSI.
   No complaints so far, it just worked.
