Pioneer's DVDR/W are always a safe bet. A06 or A07 (DVR-106 or DVR-107)

Optowrite works fine for me. It's nice and it works!

I have the LG4040. No Problems so far. Not the fastest burner ever (especialy for CDs) but a stable on. Eats all kinds of media (as long as you stay with single layer

). No problem with linux. Go buy it!

Edit:
Well I see I was a little late!
