No problem with that approach, but it's not for me. I like to fly a
little closer to the ground, so I get pavement burns from time to time
<grin>.

As a side note, after 7+ months on KUbuntu Dapper (now 6.06), the only
real problems I've encountered are CUPS and now growisofs (used by
k3b, etc.). At present there's some sort of bug that results in
burning coasters. Since I have no critical need to burn DVDs, I can
wait until it's fixed. I haven't kept up with what's in stable - does
it even burn DVDs?
