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 think the parent poster was talking about Brasero. Under ¨Tools¨ you´ll find ¨Check Integrity...¨. Hope that clears it up for ya´.

I think I got it. Two plug-ins from Brasero I mean. I still think that such important feature as disc writing verification should be implemented in other way, not in the form of "plug-in". Also I think it should be visible straight in the main window, in some form of checkbox right to the "Burn it" button or something.
I never consider myself as "geek" - especially when it comes to Linux-specific areas, but after all - Linux-based OS are not targeted at the geeks, who understand such things like "plug-ins", right ?
I just checked this out in beta, and luckily for all Joe-Sixpacks like myself who are more interested in getting the job done, not in structure of the application itself, those plugins are activated by default in Brasero.

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.

Who's drowning ? Here you have an "CD/DVD Assistant" window in 8.04 beta. Could you be so kind and guide me - where is that damn "Verify written data" button ?
