You could plan on burning everything from one burner drive, perhaps
making shares on each pc for the data to be pulled from. Alternative is
to have one central pc/server that the data that is burner is hosted
on. Several things can cause problems/annoyances. How much data is
being burned? 700 mb transfered over a network is not bad. 24 gigs can
be annoying. More frequent problem, is data latency over the network.
I would rather have the data local, than over the network to avoid
making to many 'coasters'/dead CD's.
