An ISO is just the filesystem image, where a cue/bin is an image of an 
entire CD. In reality, it doesn't usually matter unless you're dealing 
with applications that have very strict requirements about how the CD 
looks. You can write cue/bin files under Linux  - either with some kind 
of converter tool, or maybe one of the cd writing apps (cdrecord, 
readcd, cdrdao, etc) supports it. I can't remember now.
