Transmigration of the CD-image soul from Mac to Linux?

I have a Wallstreet laptop with a CDROM drive, and I have a Linux desktop box with a CDROM burner.

I have some CDs in Macintosh format.

Is there any way I can extract a disk image of the Mac CDs (either with the Linux box or with the Mac and send it over the network) and then burn a copy under Linux that will work in a Mac drive? What if the CD is boot-capable?
