25 Since I wanted to shutdown instead of reboot, it would be ALT + SysRq +
26 S + U + O then correct? I have never done this before so what if any
27 are the gotcha's with this? Anybody ever do it and can tell me how long
28 a shutdown takes? Is it like seconds or what? Also, will this work if
29 I am logged into KDE and in the GUI?
