Well, other than many Linux users not being aware that not > all hardware is suitable for anything but Windoze. Course not all of us monitor kernel.org. I have used the LG CDROMs and CD-RWs for a number of years with no problem. This is the first time it has been a problem. I was suspicious of the drives because they looked like they had cheapened them up even more. All I see locally are Sony, MadDog, and an occasional Pacific Digital. So looks like that leaves a search to insure that others available locally are not made by LG and rebranded. Buyer beware. Ones at CompUSA that appear to be better quality are still only $39.95 US. Good luck everyone. -- Dennis M. linux user #180842
