New topic - CD Replication

[Brian Densmore]

Yeah, buy a multiple CD burner. They tend to be $$$$ for any useful
ones. OS independent, start around $500 for 1-to-1 copiers, $1500 for
1-to-5 copiers, and grows geometrically. These things take a master disk
and copy it bit for bit to 1,2,4,6,10,100,... CDs simultaneously. 

Another option, would be to build yourself a Linux CDR/W tower (better
use SCSI for this), connect it to your network, write a burn script
wrapper around your favorite CD burning utility, and BAM! your in the CD
burning business.

And still another option would be to build your own standalone burner
tower. You can get a 1-to-5 burner controller for around $300, then  all
you need to do is get a case, 5 CDR/Ws and you've got yourself a
duplicating tower. Probably won't save much this route, but maybe.

It might be an interesting project to build a Linux CD Burning tower.
