I have since played around with burning audio CDs under Linux using 
gcdmaster, which is a GUI front end to cdrdao, and it seems work 
flawlessly (which means I now have to back and re-burn those CDs with 
the annoying gaps in them :)

I just recently purchased an HP PhotoSmart 7550 USB2.0 color printer.
The computer I have unfortunately does not support 2.0, so I don't 
get the speed. However, I re-compiled the kernel for USB printer 
support, installed cups, and had this thing running in under an hour!
So, that's now 3 USB devices I have running under Linux without 
complaint (so far :)

	It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
