| AFAIK Iomega is distributing beta software for Linux to support

It will not help them to recover as company.
With CD-Recorders at $130 level and probably prices for them dropping below
$100 next year, I don't see how Iomega can survive.
(I told Iomega that they will not survive, when was meeting & discussing
distributorship with them around 3 years ago. They were very arregant.
Didn't wanted to listen, just: our conditions are:... Minimal order is
$100K... and so on. We could not agree on that.
One year later they came back and asked: please! Answer was _ f_ off !
May be, it will help you a little bit, Brian.)
Just want to ask people who using CD-recorders with Linux.
What models you have? Any problems/glitches?
Are CD-RW disks/drives fully supported?
I am thinking either to assemble PC with internal CD-recorder or to buy
external for my notebook. I don't need CD-recorder which is not working in
Linux. :-)
