DVD writer

[Robert L Krawitz]

I'm thinking of getting a DVD writer.  My primary intention is to use
it for system backups; CD's just don't cut it any more (with about 18
GB and 11 GB respectively on my two systems).  The Sony DRU-500A looks
like a rather interesting one, supporting a lot of formats.  Any
comments on that vs. any of the others out there?  This is for a pure
Linux system.
