14 Gnomebaker seems pretty OK-- quite nice, actually, though I can't seem
15 to make new folders in the layout (I'd have to make them in the regular
16 filesystem then copy them to the layout), but I didn't explore it all
17 that thoroughly.

19 I think I'll stick with K3b for the time being; you may not realize that
20 it can be built -kde and -arts (though you'll still have to install
21 kdelibs for it to run). It remains the most fully-featured GUI burning
22 program out there.
23
24 You might also try Nero for Linux (GTK1 interface). It pretty much does
25 most of what Nero for Windows does, certainly it handles all the basic
26 functions with aplomb (though not as much aplomb as K3b), although I
27 didn't really check to see how it handles the 'extra' features of Nero
28 Pro (does it encode video and audio, and what formats does it allow to
29 do so).

31 All available from Portage (though some may be ~arch masked).
