Comment 17 for bug 126898

Leann,

Thanks for your follow up: I appreciate the links and your candor.
Compliments to your support for this issue! Off the record, I have
supported Linux, via tech support and, currently, engineering support
for a hardware vendor off and on since 1999.

Installing Gutsy was a very pleasant surprise over previous versions,
not to mention other Linux distributions: most everything that I have
had problems with previously has been handled with aplomb with Gutsy.
Very impressive, keep up the good work. I find myself with almost
nothing but compliments and recommendations for this distribution.

Still there are pointy edges to put out a newbie's eye (or at least make
them blink a lot), which is why I decided to update the listed bug.
Easy CDROM/DVD burning is high on the list of things that should not be
a problem out of the box.

In any case, if you can provide any specific reference to fixes in the
kernel or elsewhere I will be happy to test out the new kernel or
packages. Otherwise I'll review the changes and may do a dpgk -i on the
Hardy kernel to see what happens.

Suggestions welcome and thanks again,

James
