ISO is definitely the most common CD image type and basically every program will support it. Occasionally, you might come across a disc image in the BIN format. While there are ways to use BIN/CUE’s in Linux, it is much easier to convert them to the standard ISO format.
open up a terminal and type
apt-get install bchunk.
This will install a program called Binchunker.
Binchunker is used in the terminal and is very simple. Navigate to the folder containing the BIN/CUE file and run Binchunker in the following way.
bchunk IMAGE.bin IMAGE.cue IMAGE.iso
Depending on the speed of your machine, the time required will vary. Overall it is very quick and should not take more than a few minutes.
You should now have a standard ISO file that you can use anywhere!
