What on God's frelling green earth are you bloody talking about. Are you stupid? I asked WHY THE PERSON COULDN'T USE LINUX CD BURNING SOFTWARE? Is that plain enough? It was a question..because of the statement about the Windows Easy CD Creator and CrossOver. I didn't say anything about an end user creating bloody anything. Xcdroast already exists..among other apps.
You know ..sometimes I really wonder why I bother staying on this list when you frigging newbies know everything and know just how to piss someone off with your condescending bullshit attitude.

Woah, easy. You are right Ben, that statement was a bit out of left field. You are also right that there are native tools. I only wanted to point out that some specific tools lag their windows counterparts enough to make it worth it to dual boot for the moment. And crossover can help bridge the gap until better native tools are built. Your response was perfectly reasonable so I don't know how it got you attacked. Let's all get up and go have a beer right now. :) John
