In Linux, I'm starting to think the answer is "no". I got my first
CD burner about 7-8 years ago, and used it in Linux for many years.
I also used CDRWin and another app I forget the name of now in Windows

supported in Linux on my burner, I stuck with Linux burning using
xcdroast for a very long time.
Then at some point, something changed in the kernel which broke CD
burning for me, and it wasn't fixed for months. During that time,
I switched to using CDRwin for everything in Windows again. It
was frustrating rebooting just to burn a CD, but necessary.
This is exactly the root of my frustration. With FC1 burning was 100%
reliable. Then it broke and I've had trouble ever since. Presumably that
was the change between 2.4 and 2.6 kernels and change to IDE CD drive
handling.
From googling, and a bit of bugzilla surfing, that is what the problem
appears to be for many people. I had various problems even on FC1,
RHL 8, 9, and the latter few RHL 7.x releases too however. The problems
definitely werent all related though, and I did manage to work around
some of them. Problem is though, I don't _want_ to "work around" things
myself manually for something like this. Sometimes you just want
certain things to "work" without having to screw around or surf for
kludges. So I bite my tongue, curse under my breath at Mr. Gates,
and reboot to a useable solution, hating every minute of it, but
being happy with the end result.
