I really don't have much experiencec with Macs, so I couldn't
tell you what CD formats they can read. But from my experience
with burning CDs, I would recommend using Joliet. Basically,
the wat Joliet works actually does not invalidate the iso9660

You did just say "OSX," didn't you? OSX is, effectively, an excellent GUI
shell attached to a BSD kernel. Anything you can read/use on a BSD box
will be accessible, and as far as I remember, BSD supports Joliet.

Well, if it works for W2K, I expect it'll work for Linux too.From the
little I found on the subject, I think Linux and W2K are more similar

hi,
i'm realy no expert on this subject, but one of my freinds how was living at my place
for 6 months had a mac with OSX. it didn't
cause any problems to have long file names. i burnt the CDs on Win2k and used them on
his mac. having sayed that, i've never burnt
them on a linux box.
