CNTROL - ALT - BACKSPACE will kill xwindows and get you back to the command line (usually). You probably have xdm, which is a package which launches Xwindows automatically on bootup. If you don't have a good X setup, then it can be a hassle. Once you get X working if you want to use xdm that's fine. -- Thank you, Joe Bouchard Powered by Debian GNU/Linux
