Check out http://www.freshmeat.net
do a search for 'cdwrite' then goto cdwrites home page.
cdwrite is the software that writes the information to the CDR/CDRW, if you
drive is supported then it will work. If you are going with a SCSI CDR/W make
sure the SCSI controller you are getting, is supported under Linux. Check out
the Linux-hardware howto. If it is an IDE CDR/W then you shouldn't have to
worry about IDE support under Linux (since almost every IDE controller is
supported). I would personally recommened against a IDE CDR/W. They do cost
less, but the cost less for a reason. Also I heard it was more difficult to
get IDE CDR/W to work under Linux.
