Better off ordering 9.2, as it's the MOST heavily "hammered" release yet, but a LOT more hardware support. I'd get the Pro. Upgrade release.

That's what someone said about 9.1 ...and I had to revert to 9, ultimately, for most things to work. Weird. ...And not everything is a hardware problem, but rather unsupported hardware, possibly, which boils down to software.
'Sure does, and I hope that these issues are FINALLY taken care of in 9.2. I've a client with a NEW HP box that I CAN'T get XCDRoast to bun a CD as a user....ONLY as Root. It simply DOES "take an act of Congress" way too often to get CD burners to work properly for users FROM THE GET GO, that is in install "out of the box."
I've had that problem in the past as well Fred. I read a few threads on the list here, and one of them mentioned that you need to fire up xcdroast as root and configure both the device, and user access. It's worked for me as a normal user after having done that. Mike
