I just got my very first CD burner which is also a DVD burner. I installed it, booted the computer, and it "just worked". I'm burning a DVD right now and I didn't have to do anything. Just put the DVD-R in, then I got a pop-up asking if I wanted to burn a DVD. It's amazing how far Linux has come. Gone are the days when you had to setup SCSI emulation, edit fstab and hope that xcdroast would work. :) </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> I was very pleasantly surprised by CD/DVD burning in Ubuntu. It was easier by an order of magnitude than the tools in Windows for my most common cases. And doing more sophisticated stuff was a three minute download-and-install away. I think this was one of two things in which Linux was easier than Windows. Very pleasant. <TABLE CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> -- Michael T.
