OK, I've reared quite thorough all you rpoints. I think, I've answered all of
them.


Yes, again, I am pretty certain the index is 1. I checked it a few times
with the script I posted. The script showed me 3 devices, one was ReadOnly
DVD. It was the first one. I presume the index was 0, the second one was the
one in question and the third one is a USB SanDisk.

I think you're fine. The right way to do this reliably for virtually anyone would be to find a unique string in the ID, then use that as a comparison check before burning, but in reality I don't see it being a problem. Generally static CD drives are the first items on the list and won't move it appears.

What do you think of Ubuntu, BTW? Just curious. What is the advantage of
having a Ubuntu server vs. MS WinServer 2008? This is off-topic though.

Haven't used it enough to have a strong opinion, yet. ;) My first scripting experiences in the early 90's were on a then-ancient PDP and some Sparcstations, but I've always worked in the Windows world - and for everyday use, I've felt Windows desktop systems are clearly superior since the introduction of XP. I installed it as a virtual machine for some testing primarily.

I do have a brand new DELL T7400 quad with 4Gbs of RAM. Now I am happy I got
that much of RAM for this machine. People were saying that it was just a
waste of money because nobody saw any performance gain with more RAM but
perhaps there are moments when you need it.

There is no such thing as "too much RAM". ;)
