You haven't lived until you run enlightenment on a 486 DX/100!! ;-) ... 
and yes, I have. And it kicks the snot out of any Windows desktop I've 
ever seen! But lately I've been using KDE. For cd bruning, the old 
command line 'cdrecord' will write to my burner when nero won't.
I tend to burn Linux cd's in windows, too. Mostly because the family 
computer (translate "gaming machine") runs it and I've usually given up 
my keyboard, or mouse or whatever, so the kids can do their "homework" 
until I can scrape the scratch to get a replacement. Been w/o a keyboard 
for about a week, so this is all on windows now. :-(
