Nero Burning for Linux

Posted by timothy on from the burning-a-hole-in-the-bin dept.

ceasol writes "The German company Nero, developers of the award-winning Nero Burning ROM suite for Windows, now release a free version for Linux called NeroLINUX a CD/DVD Burning Software, and include many features from the Windows version. This software is proprietary but free if you registered." The OEM versions of Nero that come with many CD burners aren't sufficient, though; NeroLINUX is free-as-in-beer only if you've registered "a full version of Nero software version 6 or higher," or a "retail version or downloaded version."

    You have to remember - there are three kinds of Linux users. Those who want to keep usability down to try to impress themselves by using it, those who want to increase usability so that their grandmothers can use it, and your grandmother. The majority of users are not members of the first group. Incidentally, the majority of users also do not assume a moniker derived from women's clothing.

    I thought Nero fiddled while Linux burned.

    Or you could just bypass 1), 2) and 3) and get a Bud or a Corona. Same taste, it's not free though...

    It only supports .nra, though.

    I didn't realize Charlton Heston owned Nero stock...

    the ultimate step to Linux on the desktop would be some nice and warm adware - something that would pop up dozens of Windows at random times, all from nasty apps compiled against the commercial version of QT. :D Oh, and of course, it would break through your Linux firewall and recompile a modified Linux kernel behind your back. Does that sound nice already?
