So I'm buying a Dreamcast...

Well, only problem is that you're dealing with GD-rom, which unfortunately for you were burned on reverse mode...
Why do people think that both Dreamcast GD-Roms and Gamecube discs are made 'backwards'? It seems to be a common misconception.

They don't spin 'backwards', they just spin at a constant angular velocity as opposed to constant linear velocity that standard CDs / DVDs normally use. Other than that, GD-Roms are essentially CDs (and Gamecube discs are essentially miniDVDs). In both cases, the hardware can be 'tricked' into reading regular discs burned on most recordable CD / DVD drives (it is just much easier to do with a Dreamcast than a Gamecube).

EDIT:

My only big problem now is how on earth am I going to burn the games onto a disc in Ubuntu....

This may help.
