Caveat: I am not running RedHat, Fedora, etc.

External USB:
The answer to your question depends on what version you are running.
Recent RH versions are "Enterprise" versions. The community/beta version
is Fedora. If you are using RH (v9, or v8, or v7), then upgrade to a
current version.

I googled this link for Fedora:
http://fedorasolved.org/post-install...tfs-read-write

Writing DVDs:
There are a variety of utilities to write DVDs from any GNU/Linux. The
command line tool is growisofs. The best gui tool is k3b (IMO).

I use k3b to make dvds. It is a user friendly front end to growisofs.
