    Logitech C200 Webcam in Ubuntu

    Has anyone successfully used the Logitech C200 Webcam in Ubuntu (9.04)? From what I have read, the Logitech webcams seem to be the best choice here, even if some configuring is required. Ideally, I would like to get the Logitech QuickCam E 2500, but I am just looking for a reasonably...

    Alternative to K3B

    Anyone have an alternative to K3b for CD/DVD burning? K3b irritates me that it hangs when trying to verify data DVDs (ok with CDs, but that uses a different backend). This, unfortunately, has not been fixed with the k/ubuntu 9.04 upgrade.
