I'd just like to add that Nero Linux still is proprietary software and is not free(as in freedom). For those that might want to believe that it is the best CD burning option on Linux, then you have been misled. Take a look at this article linked from Flexbeta ==>
http://dot.kde.org/1111170096/
Just to summarise the article " A Linux player who is currently interested in using NeroLinux should consider K3b instead, and for those wise ones which already house K3b, good call, stay where you are."

Thank you Ayan Debnath
Why should we use Nero, and why not cdrecord? Ok if you want the interface then you can use k3b as sumeet told, you can also use xcdroast or gcombusion (may be mispelled). In my opinion there is not a little freedom in Nero (or Nero like Windows softwares). Just think, I assume you have upgraded your Nero into Nero Ultra Edition using somehow to get the Nero Burning ROM option specially, but in that case still you are unable to create a CD which will show different materials on different OSs, which can be easily done on cdrecord, you want to lock a CD (please dont do that) such that nobody can next time duplicate the CD, Nero cant, but again in cdrecord you can do that (may be after a lot of practice). Duplicating a write protected CD using Nero may be failed, but using cdrecord with some other free GNU/Linux tools it is very easy. In GNU/Linux if still you want to create a CD with a good duplicate protection feature, then Nero will definitly fail, but again cdrecord will do the needful for you. If you are unfamiliar with the console prompt using cdrecord, then you should go for k3b, work on it, check the different options it is using with cdrecord, then try your hand on cdrecord. As far I know there are still no such GUI available on Linux which will do the above features, if anybody know about such GUI then please inform. I am trying to develop a GUI on Linux which will capable to do such things, Once it is complete I must upload it for testing and ofcourse for the bug reports, but now I am very busy upto around 1st week of may so sorry for replying this backdated mail.
will join you all soon,
bye now
