webCDwriter enables Linux users to share their CD and DVD writers with the entire network, making it easy for everyone to access these drives.
Some of the key features of webCDwriter include multi-user support, full web-based capabilities, support for data CDs, audio CDs, and multisession, bootable CD creation using an image of a bootable floppy, MP3 decoding for audio CDs using mpg123, and multi-writer support. Moreover, webCDwriter allows users to export server directories, copy data CDs in a CD-ROM drive on the server, and verify CDs after writing them.
webCDwriter also offers user accounts and the ability to upload files from one machine and burn them from another. Additionally, it has a command-line client, rcdrecord. webCDwriter offers internationalization support for languages such as Catalan, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish, and Swedish.
webCDwriter requires specific software requirements such as Mandrake Linux 9.0, at least 800 MB of free disk space on the server for one session, JavaTM Web Start 1.0.1 and above, JavaTM Plug-in 1.2 and above, and Netscape Communicator 4.5x to 4.7x. Some limitations include mkisofs sometimes failing to build an image, Netscape failing to run webCDcreator on Mac OS, and webCDwriter requiring cdrecord-1.10 if used on Linux kernel 2.4.
In conclusion, webCDwriter is a robust software that provides an excellent solution for sharing CD and DVD writers connected to your Linux box. With its full web-based capabilities, multi-user support, and easy-to-use client webCDcreator, webCDwriter is the ultimate choice for all your CD and DVD writing needs.
