first a few bits of information would be useful...
which OS are you running (Red Hat 8, 9, RHEL 3, 4, Fedora Core... etc)?
what do you mean by 'access' a cdrom? - play an audio CD or access files 
on a data CD/DVD ?

there are many media players available for Linux systems... some of the 
more popular (sorry if I've missed out anyone's personal favourite!) are
Amarok - KDe based audio jukebox app
Rhythmbox - GNOME-based audio jukebox app
Totem - video player
MPlayer - movie and audio player
xmms - audio player
beep - audio player
Xine - movie/audio
Kaffeine - movie / audio
...and the list goes on.
most of these will need extra CODECs installed to play certain 
audio/video formats - when you have chosen a player we can help you find 
these.... (most of them can use the same ones actually)


if you tell us what you are currently running we may be able to point 
you in an appropriate direction
