== I don't like BDisk. Are there any other alternatives?
|

First, I'm sorry to hear that BDisk doesn't suit your needs. If you want any features you think are missing or encounter any <<FURTHER.adoc#_bug_reports_feature_requests, bugs>>, please report them!
|
|
|
|
But yes; there are plenty of alternatives!
