Let's see if we can break my windows habit

[bdg1983]

All right, I'm getting fairly pissed off with windows. I've been using linux for about a year now, but I still find that there's a few things that just work better in windows. I have a feeling everything I want to do can be done in linux (I don't particularily want to play games).

Here's a little list. Let's see if we can find linux equivalents:
I need something that can burn bin/cue files natively, none of this bchunker crap.
I need something that can make a vcd/svcd from an mpeg1/2 movie file.
I need an ftp client that can be configured to play a sound file when it logs in to the server.
I need a downloading tool that can be set to delay on retries and supports http username/passwords. (Note: Someone replied to an earlier post of mine with a possible solution to this, which I will look into tonight).


With these few things, I can finally forsake windows and go linux full time. So, fellows, what say ye? Can it be done?

for the downloading tool. it think i know what you're looking for... prozilla.
don't know what distro you use but i got it at linuxmafia.org
as for the rest..... i dunno, sorry.

Hmm, thanks, I will take a look at that.

gftp maybe? I think it has sounds, but they may only work if you go gung ho for gnome.

All right, that's 2 down, 2 to go :)

Woohoo, success at last!
The newer versions of CDRDAO can burn bin/cue natively :cool:
Also, I found a program called vcdimager that makes VCDs/SVCDs out of MOEG-1 or MPEG-2 files. Yay! Time for linux, baby ;)
