Well, there's a shutdown button on the login panel which will close things
down in an orderly manner, and there's the shutdown command.
'man shutdown' for all of the gory details.

Subject: [newbie] Here is the dumbest question ever asked!
I can call this the dumbest question ever because it is and it's mine.
What command do you use to logoff and shutdown the system? I have it set to
load X at startup and I can choose logoff, but that just puts me at the X
login screen again. I have just been hitting the reset button to reboot,
but
Linux yells at me the next time I boot it up.
Thanks.. this is really the least of my concerns/questions at the moment,
but I'll save the other ones for later when I've learned a bit more.
