Does Linux play nice with the standard USB dvd burners?

[Omega21]

Hey there,
Im thinking about getting an older ~PPC computer that has no dvd burner. (It just has a cd burner)
It will have KDE and K3B. Is this gonna work well with an external dvd burner?
Can you recommend some good (new/current) models?
Thanks!!!!

I had a USB cd burner (hp dc3000 or dc300)
It works great

Make sure it has USB2
