Sorry for the delay Dan - only just noticed this.
Perhaps the To: address should have been:

Speaking of disk burning applications, is there a menu link to
wodim/cdrecord in the current menu system? Should there be?

I don't know if this is in the plans, but neither am I certain that it
should be. Because the target demographic is so narrow, it might not
be a good idea to include it, since so few people will be interested in
using it. It is targeted at people who want to learn the Linux command
shell, and those who want a good implementation of it, not the average
consumer.

Yes, the option for reboot is 'sudo shutdown -r now' but perhaps this
is a good idea to add to the current menus.
