GnomeBaker (registered as a SourceForge project since late 2004) takes the approach of integrating with the GNOME desktop as much as possible, even using the native GNOME folder bar. When Nautilus begins to feel cramped and underpowered, it’s time to begin looking at some excellent free software utilities to fill the gap GnomeBaker Screenshot of GnomeBaker’s project view Finally an ISO is the standard file used to represent a CD image, it contains all the files and folders to be burned to the disk and usually has a. “Ripping” is the process by which data (usually audio tracks) are copied from a disk to the hard drive. “BurnProof”, “BurnFree” and similar technologies are designed to allow disk burning applications to recover if at some point the drive is burning data faster than the application can send it. Firstly, “burning” a disk is adding files to a CD or DVD using a laser. I’ve tested these programs on Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) and with a $69 LG CD/DVD super-multi burner I picked up at the local office supply store.Ī quick note on some common disk burning terms is in order.
All of these can be installed by following the directions on the project’s website, or by using your distribution’s package installer. Each one has its own unique style, benefits and weaknesses.

But what do you do if you need more complex tasks done, like burning or ripping an ISO file, or creating an audio CD? The GNOME desktop environment comes with a simple and single-minded CD burner application built into the Nautilus file manager (not dissimilar to what Microsoft bundles with Windows XP’s Windows Explorer and Vista’s Explorer) that can handle a lot of your file burning needs.
