"supported up Redhat 9"? Proofread your messages carefully to see if
you any words out. It'd be quicker to list the CD-RWs that *don't* work.

Since 1998, all IDE CD-RWs have supported the MMC-3 standard, which is
fully supported in Linux. SCSI CD-RWs have always Just Worked. USB
CD-RWs will Just Work in almost all cases. Firewire is still sorta up
in the air. Parport is too slow and too expensive.

You shouldn't have any problems with a Plextor drive. HTH,

Thanks . Just don't want to waste money to find out that its not
supported yet. Could you recommend software to allow me to backup my
logs on DVD ?

cdrecord-prodvd

If anyone knows about other programs (this version of cdrecord is unfortunately not
open source), I'd be glad to hear about it...

For recording to DVD, you can't use cdrecord, you probably want
dvdrecord, available from http://www.nongnu.org/dvdrtools/ . dvdrecord
is a command-line program like cdrecord, and is for writing to DVD-R
media. If you use a modern GUI frontend like cdbakeoven, you can tell
it to use dvdrecord instead of cdrecord, and it'll work. (Don't try
this with XCDRoast.)

DVD-RW recording is slightly different. If you want to do multisession
writing, you'll need growisofs. HTH,

That supports only DVD-RW/-R. For the +RW/+R variant you want to read

Context is maintained by using a modern news reader that supports
threading.

Ever read the Netiquette Guidelines (RFC 1855 from the
Internet Engineering Task Force, http://www.ietf.org/)?
Section 3.1.1 reads in part:

If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be
sure you
summarize the original at the top of the message, or
include just
enough text of the original to give a context. This will
make
sure readers understand when they start to read your
response.
Since NetNews, especially, is proliferated by distributing
the
postings from one host to another, it is possible to see a
response to a message before seeing the original. Giving
context
helps everyone. But do not include the entire original!

"Modern newsreaders" that "support threading" aren't much
good when the reply gets to you before the original: there
is no thread to provide context. Other problems can also
cause the loss of an article, too. There is absolutely no
guarantee that a reader has access to the original article
while reading a reply.
