One of the first things that got me using Linux full time was when I saw how easy it was to burn a CD. I can see a lot of people trying Linux, going to burn a CD, finding out whatever GUI they try gives them coasters half the time, and saying...well, you know. We could lose a lot of newbs over this one, and I don't mean just Mandriva or whatever :-( -- JoeHill / RLU #282046 / www.freeyourmachine.org 10:26:49 up 78 days, 11:36, 8 users, load average: 0.18, 0.71, 0.82 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Superstition, idolatry, and hypocrisy have ample wages, but truth goes a-begging." -- Martin Luther
