Just for fun: have you tried putting any of the disks into the optical 
drive of your Ubuntu machine? If so, what's on them? Can your Ubuntu 
machine read them at all?  How about giving us a file listing, or part 
of one?

While there is a Linux version of Nero, it definitely does not have the 
same feature set as Windows Nero. I'd suggest that you do some Googling, 
or better yet, send some email to Ahead Software - and let us all know 
what the reply is. I'm sure that I'm not the only one that's curious.
