Linux handles multitasking *far* better than Win, AFAIK, but it is still dodgy with multimedia tasks such as burning, sound, and the like. It's all kinda "kludged" if you know what I mean, since *nix was built as a server OS originally, the media stuff is kinda piled on the best way they can for now, least tha's the way I hear it. I keep my burning to 10x, and I can burn, read mail, web, compile source, use VNC, and much more all at the same time without draining the buffer or maxing my pitiful P3 866. Try using GCombust as an alternative, too. -- HaywireMac Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: nodex.sytes.net ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ You can never tell which way the train went by looking at the tracks.
