Samsung Bundles NeroLinux With DVD Writers

Linux users are getting the much needed attention they deserve today as Samsung announces they will include a version of Nero for the Linux OS with their new DVD recorders.

Samsung will be the first to bundle NeroLINUX with a DVD/CD burner, its TS-H552U WriteMaster. The bundle will be available as a retail kit.

The versatile Samsung TS-H552U WriteMaster drive supports 16X DVD+R, 16X DVD-R, 5X DVD+R DL, 4X DVD+/-RW, 40X CD-R and 32X US-RW.

NeroLINUX supports CD/DVD burning data and disc images, Bootable CDs and DVDs, Audio CDs with CD text, Mixed Mode CDs, CD-EXTRA, and Multisession.

The bundle of the Samsung TS-H552U WriteMaster with NeroLINUX will begin shipping June 2005 and will be available for a period of one month. We aren’t sure why it will be available for only a short period, but our guess is that they are testing things to see how much demand there it. The Samsung TS-H552U is a very affordable DVD recorder and can often be found for under $75 dollars.
