3- What kind of linux you all prefer to use it?

I have learnt that the network locked huawei modems may be unlocked to use any sim card bu getting a special unlock code and it should ask for it when a "foreign" SIM card is inserted. This procedure works well in Windows, but in Linux where I use wvdial, I dont get prompted for this unlock code. Does anyone know how to insert the unlock code in Linux using any Linux tool (GAMMU/GNOKII/Minicom etc)?
I have never burned a DVD to be used on a Linux box before. If I am burning a CD using a Windows program (not built-in burning), is there anything special I need to be aware of to make sure the DVD will be able to be read on Linux?
I was attempting to burn an .iso using dd, I had used it before and remembered it being quite simple.
However I tried it today with:
I noticed it finished very quickly and now the cdr1 file inside /dev is six hundred megs or so. I don't think I can get the old file back so am wondering if I will need to reinstall, or if I should delete that file maybe it will rebuild on start up?
Should have I used another terminal command for burning .iso's to disk? What might the correct command be?

Does anyone else have unusual trouble burning ISOs to CD-RWs? When I want to make a new liveCD of a distro--or, really, any data that I might not want to keep in its current form--I like to burn to CD-RWs because I can erase and reuse them. Frugality. But I have a very high frequency of errors when I try to burn a distro to a CD-RW. Sometimes it ruins the CD-RW: after the error disrupts the burning, K3B starts telling me the disc is now a CD-ROM and can't be erased. I just lost three CD-RWs to that--damn it. And they weren'd old, failing CD-RWs: two had slight use, and one was brand new. Should I not be burning distro ISOs to CD-RWs?
how to burn slackware 13.1 on a DVD. I know i have to use a bittorrent to download the files but after thats done what do i do? Im having troubles figuring this out A quick relpy would be nice as im trying to figure it out as we speak
I sometimes get downloads, usually of linux OS's where the file is too large for a cd and has to be formated as a dvd. When I try to burn it to a disk, I keep getting something that says I need to insert a blank dvd.
Problem is, I have a blank dvd in the tray all ready to go. The unit I'm using is a Sony external dvd burner hooked up by a usb. Bresero wouldn't touch it, so I installed k3b (this is in Ubuntu10.04) k3b could read that I had a blank dvd in the drive, but when I pointed to what file I intended to burn, I kept getting the "insert blank dvd", and it wouldn't start, even though the screen in the background could see that the dvd was loaded and ready. No problem for cd's, they'll burn like an oil slick on the Gulf of Mexico.
I am unable to ssh a Linux box from other Linux boxes; also tried to window putty.Although I am getting the password prompt instantaneously.So far, by comparing logs of other server, I am just able figure out that "debug2: callback start" is not coming in ssh -vvv logs.

Is there a live linux distro that I can use for burn-in? I'd like something that has Bonnie++ on it. I've found other live CDs that have utilities, but nothing with bonnie++ on it.
In my file browser (Nautilus), they are displayed in the correct numerical order. However, in Brasero when I order them, it orders them strangely (correctly, but not the way I want them to). They order like this:
1 10 100 101
[Code].....
Can someone recommend a naming convention to rename all these files to so they are in the correct order (for example, cameras use IMG_xxxx.JPG, which is nice)? Can someone give me a Linux command line rename command for these files so they are renamed to display and therefore burn in the correct order?
They're standard JPEG files, so ordering them by the date in the EXIF data might work. I just need the correct commands, or GUI - I don't mind - to get them in order.
I am not sure what to do, I have tried many different ones but I want to put an edubuntu image on disc. I have used 3 iso burners including infrarecorder.
