if you want to do that from the command-line there is a program called cdrecord, just pop up the man page and look at that, i think that's not reason enough to leave slackware if you like it.

gentoo is -not- easier than slackware, if you're frustrated about the little issues you're experiencing in slackware,
what are you gonna say about what you're gonna face in gentoo?
If you know what you are doing, then go ahead and don't come back in a year j/k
I don't want to scare you off, but gentoo is for developers and such, and not for someone who wants something easy.

If you used slackware and liked it, i'd say stick with it. just google for slackbook, and slackware essentials for a start.
About other distro's that are easy there are a lot of them; SuSE, fedora, mandriva, ubuntu etc.
these are easy distros that get you going, and save you time.

If you want windoze(for games), i suggest getting a separate drive for it if you afford it, because you don't know if it will mess up your MBR.
