OMG! You can d/l stuff at such speed and you didn't upgrade yer Linux installation? That's too much!

Well, to shut down from any Linux distro, quit X and type shutdown -H now... If memory serves me correctly

I thought the 3 finger salute only reboots the machine but doesn't shut it down?

Actually yes, you are right. I was not thinking straight. That's because my machine really isn't shutdown ever instead of after EXTREME frag fests so its just rebooted to switch operating systems.
