DVD+R, DVD+RW, tested under FC4, work fine with virtually no problems; other formats have yet to be tested, esp. DL.
Lightscribe function not tested - I believe lightscribe software/drivers are available for GNU/Linux from HP, but I can't be bothered to shell out for the (expensive) media.
Only issue found; standard Linux `cdrecord' tool will not play with this drive (or many/most other DVD units). Fix: use `growisofs' tool instead. Can also burn mkisofs-created ISOs - see growisofs man page. Roll on cdrecord deprecation!
