Coolness...I was just about to start ripping my CD collection with no
compression to a couple hundred Gig of free space recently created on my
RAID (I decided I could really live without local mirrors of Debian for
the hppa, S390, sh, and a few other arches :).

Is there a handy (preferrably command-line) utility to rip FLAC files
and create CUE files from audio CDs?  I'm fairly new to the whole
computer audio thing (other than listening to internet radio via winamp).

Would I need anything else to insure I could re-create the original
audio CD content exactly (I don't care about extra info that might be
there like lyrics, screen-savers, Sony root-kits, etc. :-) ?
