I killed X, put all tasks a daemons. But incidentally the server (a laptop) is the only computer I have that includes a burner. Since you're a genius, tell me how to burn dvds with a gui on my screenless server? cdrecord allows me to burn a dvd only with putty/ssh and winscp. The command is usually very simple. Creating an iso is also trivial. And I'm still consuming 30W instead of 75W or more. actually I'm using wodim, but it looks like Cdrtools fork is buggy. It was still the default burner in ubuntu. Ed:

The great thing about Linux is that it CAN be pretty much anything you want.

Also, terminal functionality in Linux is better than no functionality in Windows - they JUST added the ability to burn an ISO (sorry if you were talking about Mac).

To each his own but there is a reason for GUIs. Gee, and people wonder why Linux is so geeky. To each his own but there is a reason for GUIs.
