AcetoneISO is a free and open-source virtual drive software to mount and manage image files.
Written in Qt, this software is meant for all those people looking for a "Daemon Tools for Linux".
However, AcetoneISO does not emulate any copy protection while mounting.
[citation needed] AcetoneISO also supports Direct Access Archive (*.daa) images because it uses the non-free and proprietary PowerISO Linux software as a backend while converting images to ISO.
In recent releases (as of 2010), AcetoneISO also gained native support at blanking CD/DVD optical discs and burn ISO/CUE/TOC images to CD-R/RW and DVD-+R/RW (including DL) thanks to external open source tools such as cdrkit, cdrdao and growisofs.
