As the subject states, I'm looking for hardware / software suggestions
for cd burners. Any help would be appreciated. BTW I'm running RH 6.0.

TIA,
Mike

Michael,

There are two different engines for burning CDs. CDRECORD and CDRDAO.

CDRECORD has a lot of GUI front ends that will work with it, and it will
work with a lot of CD-r and CD-rw. Though there is limited support for
Drives that it can write to in DAO (Disk At Once) Mode. You only need to use
this mode if you write audio tracks and want to control how much Gap is
between tracks.

CDRDAO only has one GUI frontend that I know about, XCDRDAO ( I have never
been able to get XCDRDAO to work ). CDRDAO supports many more CD-R drives in
DAO mode. With CDRDAO you have complete control of the Table Of Contence on
a CD.

For what drive you should get, I would look at both CDRDAO and CDRECORD
pages to find what drives, if any are supported by both, within your price
range.

You can find both web pages by searching at http://www.freshmeat.net
