Just reading /. and picked this up. Sure I have seen it before but thought it was worthwhile repeating:
By the way, it's more than just rebooting you can do this way. During a lockup, you can sync your disks (alt+print screen+s), unmount them (alt+print screen+u), and kill everything on the current virtual console (for example X) with (alt+print screen+k). This is useful when you are running with less than stable drivers, X11-setups etc, but I would not recommend it instead of trying to get to the bottom of the stability problem. -- Thanks KenF OpenOffice.org developer -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
