Hmm.  Almost every Linux setup I've had for over a decade, Ctrl-Alt-Del 
triggers a regular shutdown as though it had been issued from the 
command line by root.  A hardware reset switch is a different bucket of 
bait if the machine has one.  I've dealt with some laptops with no 
reset switch and a "software controlled" power switch where the _only_ 
way to get out of a freeze was to pull both the plug and the battery.

The Yen Buddhists are the richest religious sect in the universe.  They
hold that the accumulation of money is a great evil and burden to the
soul.  They therefore, regardless of personal hazard, see it as their
unpleasant duty to acquire as much as possible in order to reduce the
risk to innocent people.           -- Terry Pratchett, _Witches Abroad_
