That's the strange thing... none, that I can think of, besides apt-get
update and such.

Mouse still move around? Applications that are already loaded into
memory still somewhat functional? Do you see your disk light lit (stuck)
or hear your disk making strange noise?

All depends on your system configuration, if it exists, check
/var/log/{kernel,syslog} for anomalies. Possibly upload that day's log
for us to examine.

Specify what distro, kernel, and xorg versions you are running. Might
also be buggy hardware (dead network card?) or driver so paste output of
`lspci -v`
Some kernels are configured with CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ which allows you to
take control of a bad situation:
http://lxr.linux.no/source/Documentation/sysrq.txt
Typically to recover just Xorg breaking (which tends to happen when
running with current git sources), try hitting <SREQ>+k (SAK, kills off
all processes listening on /dev/console) and <SREQ>+r (unraw, puts
keyboard back into a 'normal' state), where <SREQ> is the SysRq sequence
depending on how you're interacting with the computer (typically hold
<Alt>, press and hold SysReq(/Print Screen), release <Alt> and press
command key). Also helps when something in the kernel goes bad making
the system unusable:
<SREQ>+e (terminate all processes -- SIGTERM)
<SREQ>+i (terminate all processes -- SIGKILL)
<SREQ>+s (sync disks)
<SREQ>+u (remount disks read-only)
<SREQ>+b (reboot -- or <SREQ>+o for poweroff)
