I think I'll stick with K3b for the time being; you may not realize that it can be built -kde and -arts (though you'll still have to install kdelibs for it to run). It remains the most fully-featured GUI burning program out there. You might also try Nero for Linux (GTK1 interface). It pretty much does most of what Nero for Windows does, certainly it handles all the basic functions with aplomb (though not as much aplomb as K3b), although I didn't really check to see how it handles the 'extra' features of Nero Pro (does it encode video and audio, and what formats does it allow to do so).

Someone also suggested Graveman. The problem with Gnomebaker, Graveman & K3b is that they all require a host of sound-oriented dependencies. Do they work with '--nodepends' ?

Xcdroast is there it appears to be an associated file:- xcdroast-0.98_alpha15_new_configure.tar.gz which is missing.

Just "emerge esearch" then do "eupdatedb" to update the index of ebuilds. Then, the next time you do an "emerge sync", you can just type "esync" instead and it will update portage and your esearch database. It also prints out all of the updated packages in a nice fashion after the sync. With esearch, you can type "esearch searchterm" to search for packages. From my understanding (I have never really looked into it), it is basically locate that only searches through portage. It is one of my favorite gentoo tools and I would highly recommend it.
