The computer is a Mac PowerPC desktop so "close the lid" is not
applicable.  Shutdown options in Xubuntu are "shutdown", "logoff" and
"suspend".  "Suspend" takes me to a black screen but the hard drive
continues and after a couple minutes the login password screen reappears.
I have not tried "logoff" but I would assume similar, perhaps without the
delay.  In MacOs there is a "sleep" option which still works if booted into
MacOs but sleep is  not available, as previously stated, in Xubuntu.
