Yes, Nautilus is standard for Fedora/gnome.

Try this...
1. Open a command prompt.
2. Type "su -"
3. put in root password
4. Type "yum install k3b"
5. answer "y" or "yes" if prompted to install k3b

After those 5 steps,
6. From the command prompt type "k3b"
7. Burn a CD

Do not use " " when entering commands. k3b is very similar to nero, so 
you won't have any problems navigating. Let me know if ou can burn a CD 
at normal speeds.
