Oh, I always log out (usually from non-root) then hit it.  On a 
related subject: we managed to hang the system by starting doom the
other day (the non-Xwindows version of doom).  I couldn't quit it
or get to another virtual terminal or anything.  Had to hit the
reset button (then watch fsck cleaning up stuff when it restarted).
Is there anything I can do when this happens?? (apart from hitting
"reset" of course)

Dave.
