I really prefer to use Linux to burn my CD's. I don't really like
booting into Windows NT just to burn CD's, and besides, I don't like
Windows NT as much as Linux :-)

I am using the latest 2.1.x kernels, mkeisfs/mkhybrid and cdrecord to
burn CD's with an external HP SureStore 7100e and haven't had any
problem at all. It works like a charm. And besides, you can do other
things with your machine while you are burning a CD (like compiling a
kernel :-). With Windows NT I wouldn't take that risk because it could
crash, or it could stop sending data to the writing software,
corrupting the CD you are burning.
