[newbie] CD-RW Support problem/?...URGENT

[Michael]

I just completed a telephone order for a
PANASONIC CW 7585 cd burner; as an after thought i asked if it was
supported by Linux. They said they didn't know- so i asked them to hold
it while i queried y'all.

Does anyone know if i can actually use this unit(cuz they probably
didn't hold it)??

I have a 500mhz amd k62
128megs(soon to be 256)
8.5 gig

TIA,
