Well, short of hitting the power buttons, normal users couldn't
shutdown a Sun box last time I checked.
Of course when Sun hw quality went into the sewer with the Ultra5/10
line of desktops, they put that damn "suspend" button on the front,
which made people think it was okay to shut the power off.
I never had a user shut off a Sparc workstation, they were usually
well trainied enough to know that was bad. With Linux, people are
used to shutting off PCs by just hitting the power button. They
don't seem to realize this is a Bad Thing(tm).
