I'm wanting a Lightscribe drive and will need an external one for my laptop. Can anyone recommend an external model that they have been able to get to work under Ubuntu? I've seen several at the stores but have been hesitant to buy one for fear it wouldn't work on my Ubuntu partition which I use way more than the Win side. I know the Lightscribe website has drivers and the labeling program but I'm not sure I should presume that would mean it would work with Linux. I found a really nice and slim external LaCie drive that actually states on the box that it works with Linux and Windows but it's sold out everywhere even online! Are the Linux users swarming for it???? I'd like to think so!
I've seen several Lite-on and HP drives with Lightscribe but I'm worried they won't work with Linux so I figured I'd check here to see if anyone had any success trying any external drives in particular!
