Ubuntu Ctrl+Alt+Delete (CAD) Key Sequence

Courtesy Digg Linux/Unix upcoming  Thu, 10/02/2008 - 03:53

Different versions of Linux either have the Ctrl+Alt+Delete (CAD) key sequence enabled or disabled. In Ubuntu Dapper Drake, this key sequence is enabled, allowing a quick shutdown and reboot.

However, the Gnome desktop intercepts CAD. To reboot, you need to switch to a text window (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and then press CAD.
