Thankfully, in the world of CD writers, all CD writers (that I know
of) follow the same ATAPI protocol. So any CD writer will work on
linux. The basic software you need is mkisofs to make a CD image from
the file you want to put onto the CD, and cdrecord to burn the image
onto the CD. These are available with most distributions of Linux.
There are other GUI frontends avilable - check
