I'm a Linux n00b, but I tried a few different distros recently, including Gentoo and Fedora. I discovered after installation that Gentoo was not the best place to start despite the rave reviews by its loyal fanbase. Anyway, long story short - when I set up Fedora, I set it up with the 2.6.n (don't remember off-hand) kernel. There were problems with that version of the kernel that require you to run cd burning apps (I was using k3b) as root. So far as I have been able to determine, the problem has not yet been corrected.
