Dave.

How useable are the dual layer drives under Linux?

How portable are the disks? Will they write single layer disks as well
which can be read on "normal" DVD drives?

I'm considering getting one, but was going to wait until they got a little
more stable/available - but at $165, that'd do nicely.
