DVD drive to use with Fedora 7

Hi Ed

Review is found here:

It is the second of two.  To balance that opinion have a look at:

The last post on this list mentions that the poster had no problems with 
it under linux (but doesn't mention which flavor).

If Fedora is known to support SATA DVD burners, then I will happily take 
the risk and buy one.  Just thought it worth checking before I spent any 
money.
