Some X session managers trap Ctrl-Alt-Del as well -- for example, in GNOME,
hitting Ctrl-Alt-Del usually pops up the Logout dialog box.  You can disable
that in the control panel, though I forget exactly where.

If you are root, edit /etc/inittab:
there should be a line like: (that example is copied from Slackware 8.0)
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t5 -rf now
if you remove it (or comment it writing # before it) and (as root) do
'init q' it won't reset any more.
