I happened to be in the public library of the Beaubourg in Paris this summer, looking for some free net access. They provide a roomfull of machines from which people can use netscape, telnet and so on for free. I was interested to notice that all of these machines were running Linux (don't know what flavour). And I was fascinated and horrified to notice that every user ended their session by simply hitting the power-off button. Finesse gallique. The machines rebooted without complaint every time though. Each machine must have this happen to it at least 30 or 40 times a day. So there must be some way to do it, Jim
