Advantage: "it's slightly easier to set up." Disadvantage: "the device names are different." I don't think it's really a big deal either way; my desktop machine at home also has a DVD drive and a CD burner, and I use IDE-SCSI for both, and it works fine. (Actually, the one thing that does come up is that cdparanoia wants access to the generic device if you're in a SCSI world, so you need to make sure that the cdrom group owns that too, which is a minor bit of configuration you don't need to do for IDE.) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
