Burning needs

I'm totally pleased with Ubuntu {and I must say that one of the mainest 
reasons is Gnome: a delicious-zen-usable desktop} and, for the moment, 
seeing pro's and against's, the first ones go winning.
Of course, I have had some problems. Not everything worked fine at first 
time: those scary messages {modprobe FATAL error}, which ended to be 
nothing; mi wacom-volito lost in a drawer, as I can't make it to work; 
Nvidia drivers, who had decided at first that the monitor resolution HAD 
to be 640*480, but thanks-god-or-human it all came back to 1024*768; and 
some other {UTF-8 vs ISO-8859-1, one of them winner, the user the looser}.
Oh, I had forgotten to mention my new Olympus on screen: Synaptic, apt 
and aptitude. Hundreds of years of happiness for their creators!
{Can I suggest something? Does it not have a tool to send away those 
archives and .deb's which have no use anymore? Everytime I install 
something which I don't really need, just to taste, some archives come 
into my hard disk. Can I know which ones I will never need?}
But
A cd-recorder is missing. K3b is no use anymore {I have tried to install 
it in Hoary but kcontrol doesn't want to get installed, so 
goodbye-so-soon}; Arson, who knows how to make it work?; gtoaster, 
eeeeech!; and nautilus-burner, mmm, it's useful for what it is useful, 
but nothing else.

I promise to keep on learning
