Quality Application!

This should be your main source for burning any medium in Linux, in my opinion. It's SUPER easy, extendable and constantly updated. Not much I can say for the authors of this app except Way to Go! THAT is development people!

Best Burner for Linux

Submitted by Shadoglare on Thu, 2007-08-16 11:21.

I've tried just about every burn software I could get my hands on for Linux, and K3b outshines them all.
The only one I haven't been able to compare it to is Nero for Linux - however I find it unlikely that commercial software can do anything this one can't.
