I just stumbled on this today and it caught my attention because I almost bought one this year, but didn’t see any Linux support anytime soon. So it looks like December 1st 2006 LaCie released the tools to use this in Linux. It’s released under a limited license (non-GPL, closed source) but is freely distributed since it will only work on LightScribe devices.
It is available in RPM format but if you use Ubuntu you can use Automatix2 to install it.
LaCie LightScribe Labeler for Linux
LightScribe requires special discs to create the label, which cost more then normal CD-R’s, but now I wish I got the LightScribe drive…and read http://freshmeat.net daily so I can catch these things on the same day
