This may be a bit late. For burning CDs I use XCDRoast. I download it
rather than use the version with RedHat. The new version is *NICE*.
As to Limewire. I'd watch it. There are reports about tons of spyware in
anything after 1.7. Instead I use gtk-gnutella. It's a little harder to
use but the source is open and it works well for me...
Later
