I run my machines (Red Hat Enterprise Linux and OpenBSD) so that they boot into a standard text console, then I log myself in as my non-root identity, then I run a start-up script to initialise a few things I prefer starting manually, and then I start my X-Windows and graphical Desktop (KDE), last. Shutting down, I first close most of my apps, then log off X-Windows, back into my console, and use the 'poweroff' command in Red Hat, and the 'halt' command in BSD, to bring the OS down in an orderly fashion. Then I kill the power manually, with the power button. -- -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ http://robertwittig.net/ http://robertwittig.org/ .
