I just downloaded the Qube2-German.iso file from ftp://ftp.nl.cobalt.com.
Does anybody know how to burn that iso image???? I was trying to use my Macintosh's Toast (burn image) but it sucks while telling me some confusing stuff about block size... Huh? Maybe there's a step-by-step advice how to burn that image? Especially I need some recommendations about burning software. What software can handle this image?

Any and all software, probably. Linux does, I think, use a different block size but I don't know which. Of course, there are some easy guesses: either 512-bytes or 2K-bytes. I don't know which one's right, but I'll give you 80% probability that one of them is.

There is a detailed guide on burning boot CD-ROMs for RedHat Linux somewhere on their site (I'm sure other distros have their own, almost-exactly-alike guides too), and the general process and concept should be the same for yours.

Note that you already have an "image", read: exact picture. You want to burn this to disc raw, with no changes whatsoever.

That's all I know; good luck.
