Hi Anna ! Linux doesn't use drivers like Windows. The Writer is or isn't supported by your burinig sofware. The most common writing programm is cdrecord (http://www.cdrecord.org). There is also a frontend called X-CD-ROAST. If you buy an IDE writer, you must run it in SCSI emulation mode. If it's an SCSI drive, it'll be supported without doing this. Take a look at the CD Writing HOWTO (http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO.html), espacialy at the section 2 (http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO-2.html).
