I started off with Xcdroast, which is a slick GUI frontend for the only CDR
software I know of for linux, cdwrite 2.0. I now just use dd and cdwrite at
the command line and in scripts.....quicker and much more powerful.
I can even do a straight IDE CD to CDR dupe.....very cool.

Once you figure out how to use it, sure. ; >
If you are looking to do images you would use mkisofs. I've never used it
but I assume it is pretty sraight forward.....
If you are using a partition for the image I assume you can just format it
ISO and mount it rw to do work.....
BTW I'm using a Phillips CDD2000. It is a very good drive, except the face
plate does not seal, thus is can get dust inside. It looks like REV B of the
CDD2006 finally fixed this problem, and if they have I highly recommand the
drive.
I have yet to ever burn a bad CD....
