So, exactly how do you create Data CDs (I'm not talking about music
CDs) in the KDE graphical environment. What is the KDE tool to use?
K3b http://www.k3b.org/ is widely regarded as the best burning
application for Linux. I used to install KDE solely for this
application. It simply uses mkisofs and growisofs as the backends,
but with a nice GUI frontend. I'm pretty sure it's a major
improvement from Nautilus-CD-Burner.
I must agree with all the comments in this thread. IMO, k3b is the best
availible GUI CD burning program for Linux. I was very familiar my
first time using it (similar to Nero on the Windows platform) and
integrates just as well with a GTK theme (under Gnome with qt's gtk
compat?) as it's native QT. Of course the downside is qt, arts and
kde-libs, plus the other deps (not using my already installed idv3 libs
kinda ticked me off), but worth it in simplicity for the family. I'm
still fine with {mk,grow}isofs and cdrecord.
Check it out, Randy. And I think it should be considered for the book.
I had intended to get this into the book a long time ago, but lack of
time... So, as mentioned elsewhere, another (useless) +1. BTW, what
ever happened to gaim and xchat? And also, dvd+rw tools since k3b will
take advantage of it. Those came up last time k3b did IIRC.
