Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu 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.

Am I the only one that as the verification feature in brasero? I had to disable it with Edit-> Plugins -> md5.

It's annoying, time consuming and pretty useless these days. Burners are now reliable. Last time I had a coaster was with a 1x pioneer dvd burner, like 8 years ago.

Somehow I expected that. I must use md5 plug-in for thing as simple and obvious as DVD burning verification, because it is "realOS", not that "lame" Windows, right ?

Burners are now reliable.

No. They are not 100% reliable. Or you are using your computer just for fun, and do not care about that 3% of failed sessions ?

No, they're not 100% reliable, but most of us can spring for the 25 cent CD or slightly more expensive DVD when that 3% strikes, even in a business setting, which is where 95% of my burning is done.

Also, why are you so amazingly abrasive? Perhaps people would value your viewpoint a little more than that of a troll if you didn't come off so rudely in your posts.
