I am currently using ubuntu, and xubuntu on my desktop, and laptop. The problem is that when I want install software like Nero 9.0, and other software like photoshop, the operating system simply display the CD content, and it couldn't anything else, like install the program directly to the computer. Not like Windows, when you put the CD to the CD-Rom drive, it would automatically run the installation. It just won't do the same in Linux operating system. What can I do to install the Nero 9.0 and Photoshop to my computer?

You can download for linux version NeroLINUX 3.5.0.1 there are a lot of linux software is not compatible, you can only install it on the network to find suitable software, or other appropriate place. I wish you luck!

Thanks, I just want to know if there are other ways that I can install them to Linux too. I knew most software out there in the market only compatible with Mac operating or Windows operating system. I just need to find out if there is a way that can bridge the difference.
