Yep check out cdrecord/mkisofs and install them. Then look for nice gui front ends for them...
I don't know what distro you use, but depending on how well the installer set up your hardware, but inorder to run a cdburner it needs to be set up to use scsi emulation.. (this is what windows does, too) Now you probably don't need to know that, but it's just a hint incase stuff doesn't work correctly...
