Hmm... GCombust is the only one I consider worth my attention, since the others either failed miserably (in Mandrake, SuSe and Redhat) or were no longer supported (college projects left behind).
However!!! GCombust works everytime, without fail, on every CDRW we sell in our Linux machines. Whats' your problem? Get an Acer CDRW and you'll do fine. You must click the detect button though for the SCSI ID and then the verify button, when you first run GCombust (or it will not find the CDRW). Then you must unmark Dummy Test or it will go through the motions, but only as a test run. Read the README file and you'll know this.
Failure in Linux is 75% of the time due to the user's ignorance (brainwashed from Microsoft mental abuse), 23.5% of the time due to damaged/failing or obscure hardware, and only 1.5% of the time bad programming in the Linux program.
Even Windows based CDRW software doesn't work out of the box sometimes. You usually have to update the software online before it will work (Adaptec, Nero, and Prassi have all had this problem with the CDRW drives the software came with).
