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."

    Before discovering K3B, a CD/DVD burning software was the main thing I was missing under Linux. K3B is nice, but Nero (at least under Windows) had a lot more options.

    Nope, OEM versions are explicitely excluded.

    You might as well forget them:
    Please note: This offer is not for OEM or Trial version users. OEM users can Upgrade Now for a special discount offer.

    Analogies don't equal equalities, they are merely somewhat analogous.

    But could we please call Ahead Software by their name instead of calling the company Nero?

    Look at the bottom of http://www.nero.com/. "Nero AG / Nero Inc." I'm guessing they incorporated under the Nero name as well when they realized that not many people actually know the company name.
