I really like Linux, but I don't understand why there isn't more 
cooperation while developing applications. There are almost a zillion 
CD/DVD burners for *nix out there and almost none of them are actively 
developed.

If the developers who created those -mostly half functional- 
applications worked together on one killer burner, the chances of it 
becoming unmaintained are way smaller and the quality of the 
applications would also be of a higher standard...

The wait is for someone to fork my -until recently- favorite burner: 
Graveman (maybe even rename it to Xfburn-ng ('ng' as in 'new 
generation') or something)


-H-
