I just want to give a quick report about my problems with CD writing under 6.2.1 on a Fujitsu-Siemens V3405 laptop.

In short, Brasero was not able to produce readable recordings, even set at lowest speed, with 3 tries. But it reported the burning succesful. While K3b did it at first try. In addition, I had K3b verify the writing - that can be very useful with ISO images.

Before this, I believed that Linux CD burning programs were substitutable, but maybe they are not. Media was Philips 700MB CD-R 52x, and it may well be that media and burning device did not like each other.

I think it is good to be aware of this. Someone will probably blame the distro for bad burning, too
