AcetoneISO2, is a feature-rich and complete software application to manage CD/DVD images. Thanks to powerful open source tools such as fuseiso, AcetoneISO2 will let You mount typical proprietary images formats of the Windows world such as ISO BIN NRG MDF IMG and do plenty of other things. Everything will be done inside a handy GUI.
Their website as of now does not offer a .deb package for Ubuntu and I wanted to try it out so I compiled and built a .deb package for Ubuntu 'Hardy Heron'. My .deb package can be downloaded from here.
** Users who are to use AcetoneISO2 should be added to the group 'fuse'
This is done with the command:
sudo addgroup *your-username* fuse
(example: "sudo addgroup johndoe fuse")
The only downside I can see to this application is that it depends on Qt libraries which means that it will be a rather big download including dependencies. Otherwise, the interface is simple to use and makes mounting of the more dubious image formats a breeze. However, it did not mount the DAA format the reason for which I installed this program. Some other functions include image encrypting and compression, md5sum file creation and verification, converting from other formats (including Mac OS images) to ISO, floppy drive emulation and Video/DVD ripping and encoding.
The project's homepage is http://www.acetoneiso.netsons.org/.
P.S. The obligatory disclaimer: Use this package at your own risk!
[EDIT] I made some changes to the package on 2nd June, 2008 at the request of the AcetoneISO2 team. Basically, the change was concerning dependencies so that KDE4 users do not have to download KDE3 libraries. I have updated the link above.

Oh, thanks you, the package deb works 100% in ubuntu 7.10.
You are welcome. Glad to know that it works on 7.10.
You should propose this package to be added to the official Ubuntu repositories.
I am not sure what the process is or how much work is involved in maintaining a package in the Ubuntu repos... especially since I generally do not use KDE or Qt apps. Who knows, maybe KDE4 will change all that :D I really like the way Kubuntu Intrepid is turning out!
does it supported GxLA 3.0 and new ETG 5x6 ?? I just need to know to make a right decision
Very good but I would like more specific information on intranet technology, and programming in Visual Basic. could you share?
