Linux is so AWESOME man! The only thing that bugs me is there's no
shutdown button. How can I reboot or turn off computer? Everytime I
install software, it never asks me to reboot. I'm an expert Windows
user and I was working as an IT Manager until recently, so I know alot
about computers. I just need to know how to turn this thing off!
To shut it down, you can do what I mention below, or, if you've got
a command line and you're root, you can enter one of these commands:
shutdown -h now
init 0
One of the interesting things you'll find under Linux is, "There's more
than one way to do it!"
1. You don't need to reboot for software installs (except kernel
updates).
Yup!
2. shutdown is the same as with winblows. With the default gnome
panel, it is the actions --> logout option from the panel.
Actually, "Red Hat Icon->Logout". Then you can select "logout",
"shutdown" or "reboot system".
Neato, eh?
