It is that time of year again: a new Ubuntu release is upon us. The beta version of Ubuntu 8.04 was released a few days ago, so I decided to give it a try and see what new features and improvements they have shoved into this one. As always, this is as much a preview of the latest GNOME release (2.22) as it is of Ubuntu itself. Read on for the preview.

I wonder when all those clever guys will come with the idea of "write verification" in any open source CD/DVD burning application in Linux - except k3b ?
Are they ever burn their DVDs using application they produce ?
Why use such an annoying tone in your posts? Would it kill you if you actually tried to be more friendly, or perhaps even _suggest_ that feature somewhere? Besides, quite many apps do have that. I don't remember about Nautilus though, but that's just because I have never used that feature even in apps that do have it.

I don't remember the last time I burned a dud DVD/CD. I agree that verification is a good feature to have, but I've burned hundreds of CDs/DVDs in the last year without verifying the results and they've worked like a charm.
It would be nice to have it, but it's something I can live without.

OK, I'll bite.
Just clicking a few and I find "Verify written data" in the DVD Copy dialog. Then, just for a trial, I create a DVD Project, drag a few files, click on the "Burn" button, there's a "Verify written data" in the burn dialog.
Don't use it if you don't like it, use whatever gnomeish apps you'd like, but starting a pissing contest will only get you drowned in a strangely smelling pool.

I never use K3b anymore, now that I've got Brasero. It does what I need it to do, without having a KDE-centric app installed on my GNOME-based machine.
