    Hi everyone, I'm using Linux Mint 9 LXDE, and I'm wondering which external optical drives will be compatible and fully functional. I have an MSI U120, and I'm basically using a normal default kernel that came with Mint 9. Any suggestions? I want it to be able to burn DVDs/CDs, and read them of course. Cheaper would be preferred...I don't care about noise :)
