[wplug] Requesting recommendations for DVD-burners that work well with Linux

Hey folks.

Anyone got a USB DVD burner that works well with Linux?

We have a Sony DRX-530UL and it doesn't seem to work under either Red
Hat 9 or Fedora Core 2.  It works fine under Windows, so I assume there's
some sort of compatibility issue.

I'm not opposed to internal ATA burners, but it would just be easier if
there was a USB one that would work.  What's compatibility like with the
ATA ones?  Anyone have any horror stories about not being able to get
it to work?

I'm also open to input on how to get this Sony working, if anyone has
any ideas.  cdrecord finds it just fine, but I get illegal instruction
errors when I try to do a test burn.
