I need to burn CDs/DVDs that can be read in Linux. How is this done? Is there an application that does this?
10.8.5

Thanks

You can either burn them as FAT32 or install the HFSUtils in your distro of linux to read normal Apple filesystem.
You can use something like Burn to burn as FAT32 (Windows, old system).
Some distros already have HFSUtils installed. What one are you running?

Just burn the CD, DVD using the Joliet standard which can be read by Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. See below.

Operating systems which can read Joliet media include:

Microsoft Windows
Linux
OS X
FreeBSD
OpenSolaris
Haiku

Your burning software should default to this method unless you tell it otherwise.

Thanks you guys. I couldn't find joliet on disc utility, so I downloaded "burn" and did it. I am not using linux so I do not know which version, it's the guy who is receiving the discs that is running it.

That's good. I should have mentioned "Burn" but thought you already had burning software. Anyway, "Burn" defaults to the Joliet standard so your friend should have no trouble reading the disks.

Are your burning "normal" stuff like video,audio,docs etc?

If so, you need not worry. Burning normally will mean a Linux distro will be able to see the files.
