It's not very pretty, but I do like the simplicity of the command line
tools. I just recently had some good experiences with cdrecord for dup'ing
data discs.

I assume based on #2 that you have two CD drives? You can copy directly with
cdrecord by specifying it as the source file to burn from (i.e. /dev/scd1).
With burnproof enabled, it worked perfectly with a 32X CD-R unit, even
slowing down to wait for the slower CD-ROM with no coasters burnt.

Are you doing audio or data CDs? Trying to copy, or build you own? I used
the GUI-based XCDroast and liked it a while back.
