Jennifer,
Pretty much all CD / DVD drives today use the same driver when reading
and writing, so it is up to you as to what brand and model.
Personally, I prefer Lite-On drives because they consistently perform
very well in benchmarks and comparisons. Media compatibility is very
high as well. I somewhat avoid earlier Pioneer drives and all Sony
drives because of compatibility reasons.

P.S.: For writing, cdrecord and dvdrecord both will auto-detect the
driver (mmc). cdrdao will require you to choose it (generic-mmc or
generic-mmc-raw). If you are using some graphical interface, you won't
need to worry about this.

The CD burner on my machine is getting flaky. I want to get a new one, as well
as upgrade to CD and DVD R and W. Can anyone recommend one?
At one computer store they recommended an NEC 3550A but can I get a driver for it? Would
that be just a "Linux driver" or do I have to differentiate between a Debian
driver / MEPIS driver / Ubuntu driver and so on?
Jennifer, the newbie
