To copy a cd within linux is a very easy task to do on the command line :).

The if is the input, in this case it is the /dev/cdrom device, and the output (of) is the file.iso placed in the /home/<user> directory

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/<user>/file.iso

to burn the iso back onto another disk, just

-v means verbose, tell you what is happening, with using the device(dev) and then the file to burn to a disk.

cdrecord -v dev=/dev/cdrw /home/<user>/file.iso

There is gui's to do this as well, but just as easy to use the command line at times.
Creation of cool tutorials :)
