I kind of like the following script. It beats a GUI hands down.

:#!/bin/bash
dir=`dirname $1`
path=`basename $1`
cd "$dir"
mkisofs -l -L -R -uid 0 -gid 0 -pad "$path" | cdrecord -v dev=2,0,0 -dao speed=8 -data -eject

Note that you may prefer different options (speed?; Juliet options?) and certainly may have to point dev= to the proper location.

If you really feel like a GUI, webmin works pretty well.

Basically, any of them should be creating iso9660 filesystems by default
which is the standard in CDROM filesystems. So once you pick
the one you like out of the plethora of options, make sure that
you set in the options to use iso9660 (if that's an option).
FYI:
most CD burning apps in linux are simply front ends for CDRecord and cdrdao (combined usually with mkisofs).

Cool
