    OS X can mount ISO's out of the box. Perhaps Nautilus should include the ISO mounting script with their distro....

  2. Desktop Community Support? by Doc+Ruby · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Since upgrading Ubuntu 5.04 to 5.10, my desktop has had serious defects in rendering fonts in some apps (Firefox and Evolution), and can't burn audio CDs without refusing, misburning or crashing desktop/OS. The past 7 months of automatic updates, including the latest X.org dump, haven't fixed the problems. I haven't found messages in the Ubuntu forums, GNOME website or elsewhere on the Web indicating others with my problem, or who have solved it. Posting in those Ubuntu and GNOME forums hasn't returned any results. Where do I turn for that kind of support that actually works?
