Hi everyone! I'm pondering spending money I technically should be saving (for a possible cross country move) on a DVD drive for my computer. Just a simple DVD reader, I don't need to burn DVDs, really. And since I only use Mandrake, that's all it really needs to work with. I haven't heard many horror stories about DVD and CD drives not being linux/mandrake friendly, but I figured being paranoid and asking suggestions first would be the best way to go anyways.
I was wondering if anyone can suggest an inexpensive, but decent enough quality, DVD drive I could purchase at a store local to California, specifically the San Francisco Bay Area, or failing that, a web site that is fairly well known and trustworthy. I'd really like to be able to walk into a store, pick up the drive, and install it when I get home... I don't want to have to wait on it being shipped, but will make due with that if I really really have to. Thanks in advance! Amy -- I have 49 invites to gmail, do you have a gmail account yet?
