This version of Nero 9 contains simply data burning and disc copying features for CDs and DVDs. Additional features and functionality are available with an upgrade to Nero 9 full version.There are better freeware alternatives but thought some here might be interested to know.

I use an earlier version and it works perfectly (after adjusting Line In and the recorder's "Volume").

660368 2009-09-13 00:04:00 If you run Debian/Ubuntu based system, EnvyNG (albertomilone.com) is a very handy application to have.

I very recently had a situation where I needed to change graphics cards on my Mythbuntu server. EnvyNG will give you a list of which graphics drivers suit your needs (including what it recommends), and then installs it, configuring xorg.conf auto.

Brilliant app :D

660372 2009-11-01 08:12:00 Just found this (ninite.com) c PCworld.com. By the looks of it, you can tick whatever program that's listed (which look like the latest versions), then click on get installer. And it'll download the lot, in one install. Download the one file, then run it. It'll install all of them, one after the other Speedy Gonzales (78)
