Here's a few tips to speed you along: Try out burncd for your CD burner (man burncd). As for CUPS, which is pretty darn slick, once you have it installed, and turn your browser to localhost:631 for configuration, try using ports/print/xpp. It is a gui pop-up interface for print-time printer selection. Whereever a program is configged to use lpr, simply replace it with xpp. Congrats, and good luck! -Matt
