I run a Gnome desktop here and without a doubt k3b is the best CD burning software I've ever used on _any_ platform. It's rock-solid, the UI is very well designed, and it has all the functionality I need and more. My only complaint with it is that when organizing large numbers of small files (several thousand) for burning to a CD, it can be dog-slow, as in go-have-lunch-and-a-cup-of-coffee slow. k3b used to muck with my Gnome desktop and sometimes cause various Gnome UI components to crash, but somewhere along the way this got worked out and now it works flawlessly. I believe k3b depends entirely on cdrecord for low-level access to the CD burner. It'll do DVDs, too. -- Lindsay Haisley | "In an open world, | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | who needs Windows | available at 512-259-1190 | or Gates" | http://pubkeys.fmp.com http://www.fmp.com | | -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
