[NTLUG:Discuss] Bye Bye Mickeysoft

[Chris Albertson]

I use Xcdroast in X-Windows. It came with Mandrake, but I'm not sure if it's a
KDE or Gnome specific item. Either way, you can get it from freshmeat.net if you
can't find it on your box. Try running xcdroast from the command line first and
see if it lives on your box.
