I recently purchased 2 LG DVD-RAM dual level drives for the purpose of
installing Novell's  SLES and SLED evaluation of SUSE 10.0 Linux.

No Go!

When I took the DVDs into the store, they tried them on their boxes (all
running MS XP). None of the machines with LG DVD drives could read
Novell's DVDs. But the Asus and Pioneer drives worked fine.

Fortunately the shop allowed me to swap the LGs for Asus.

So beware! Avoid LGs unless you test them in advance!
