Well, I bought a pioneer DVD-R106 a couple of weeks ago and it works out of the box with LM9.2 (haven't tried it with LM9.1). Here in the UK you can find it for GBP 107.98 (incl. VAT) (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/DVD_RW_Drives.html) This is the first piece of hardware I bought that I tried first in Linux and worked 1st time! Backed up 4.4Gb of data yesterday on-the-fly in 16 minutes. So I'm a happy bunny :) Actually, a really really really happy bunny <g> Also plays all regions with ogle, mplayer, etc from plf. > Finally, given that I have european family who don't "get" region > encoding and send us DVDs as xmas gifts, do I want to look at decss, or > other? > > Thanks > -- > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ____________________________________________________________________ Frederic P.
