hello and merry christmas.
my question is simple and can be was already asked. for my next gift I intend to buy a Blue Ray burner drive.
I wonder if the linux kernel supports this type of material
Linux has support for Blu-Ray. More about Blu-Ray as storage medium here http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW. If you wish to watch Blu-Ray movies, you need to "hack" the copy protection (Advanced Access Content System).
Apparently, Nero4Linux has Blu-Ray burning support. It's a free 30 day trial but only a $20.00USD purchase cost.

Aside from the link Sven kindly provided, it seems that playing Blu-Ray may be a bit non-trivial, but a quick google indicated that there is a program called makemkv.
None of this is from personal experience.
