G'day,

I need either a CD-ROM burner or an Optical Drive (Tape is
unsuitable), but I have a few questions on these.

On CD-ROM's can I burn a CD from in Linux or will I need something
like Gear under windows (ughhh!) ?

On optical...
Are there many types of Optical? If so which are best with Linux?
What is the lifetime of an optical disk?
I haven't seen much on optical equipment around the place, is this
because no-one uses it? If so how come, is there something wrong with
it?

Any answers to these questions will be greatly appreciated.  If you
know of somewhere I can look at myself that would be excellent.

Thanks,
