Intro to K3B

About a month ago, I talked about my experience with the K3b burning software for KDE, and its effectiveness vs. Nautilus. Today I found a more indepth introduction to K3b that I hope you’ll find useful.

The article is actually a chapter excerpt from the book Point & Click Linux! by Robin Miller, a columnist and frequent contributor to sites like Linux.com and NewsForge. It’s written on a newbie level, but has plenty of information for anyone just looking to check out alternative CD burning solutions.

Why K3b? Miller says “…it is one of the finest and most versatile programs of this type we have ever used, in any operating system. K3b handles music, video, and data equally well, and has no trouble burning the ‘ISO’ (complete file system image) CDs needed to boot your computer directly from its CD drive.”

If you’ve never used burning software, this article will help get you started. If you’re already familiar with software like Nero or Roxio, you should find K3b an easy transition on the Linux side.
