I've ordered an external burner - I'm not interrested in Blu-Ray itself, but 
my Photo archive would require dozens of DVDs to secure  (I remember  
creating a set of 25 floppies to install OS/2, but that was long time ago).

I understand Blu-Ray uses DRM to handle video, but does this mean it's also 
required to burn data? I want to burn Blu-Ray M-Discs (data only).

I'll switch to another  OS if necessary (as it would only be for an archival 
process) but of course I'd rather do it with Linux (and Trinity if possible).

If I can provide any information once the hardware is there...
