That is, no radical copy-protection schemes as applied in
some of the fancy game software.

At one of those links I found this:

nux-daemon-tools.html

---------------------------------------
The kernel itself has the ability to mount ISO images (but not cue or bins),
using the "mount" command. If you want a graphical interface check this page
www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=44805 it can also help to
convert cues and bins to ISO.
---------------------------------------

This doesn't specifically refer to Ubuntu, but does it apply?
That would be nice. The link for a graphic interface was empty,
but I could nicely use mount. If that's the case, however, what need is there
for the likes of these?

...No mention of .deb on that page.

www.farstone.com/software/virtual-cd-tower.htm

...Which says Red Hat, SuSE, Turbo Linux only, and Windows

This is an interesting page, though seemingly not
Linux-specific:

www.filebuzz.com/files/Linux_Virtual_Drive/1.html

...and, again, no mention of .deb -- I'd like to stick
with the repositories if possible. If not then I would
attempt a conversion from RPM, or compile. Never compiled
source code in Linux before.
