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.

Would it kill you if you actually tried to be more friendly, or perhaps even _suggest_ that feature somewhere?

Suggest ? Somewhere ? Disk burning verification ? Isn't that obvious enough this is essential feature ? I always wonder that there are some technical obstacles to include that in GNOME-based app, since it is present in k3b and not in "CD/DVD Creator", GnomeBaker and now in Brasero.

I guess you'd better code it if you feel so strongly about it then...

Typical answer to someone making a comment on a feature missing, very basic and important IMHO:
Do it yourself, send a patch, etc, it's OSS.

Do you mean that using OSS you should patch, report somewhere, otherwise keep your mouth mute ?

No, thanks. Nero 7 Essentials already has this feature.

... or at least submit a feature request in gnome's bugzilla.

Personally I never verify my burned CDs. It takes too long time and they always work anyway.
