cdrecord under Linux is perfectly capable of burning Mac OS disks,
and it's a lot better at it than the Toast than came with my CD-RW
drive on the same hardware. (For one thing, you don't have to reboot
the machine with extensions off, and you can use it for other things
(within reason) while you're burning.) There's even a flag to pick
up resource forks and type/creator from netatalk's .Apple* files.
Personally, I *always* burn under Linux, even when I'm making the
backup disks for my iBook.
