Hi Julian,
Just type "switchdesk KDE" (or GNOME or...) to change desktops.

For the cd burning, you will probably script your way through a few utilities, 
but cdrecord will probably do the bulk of what your after. It is likely 
already installed. "man cdrecord"

If the 266 had a good video card & decent ram, and you have a fast primary 
machine, you could just run remote X.
