cntrl-alt-del?

What is the linux equivalent of control-alt-delete? When I last hit it, it took me to the GDM screen. Since I have a crappy computer there are sometimes ocassions where I'd like to bring up the linux equivalent of task manager (whatever that is) to kill a program. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

KDE System Guard, take a look at the process table :-)

sweet, that's exactly what I wanted. Does it have a keyboard command to call it up?

No, but you can easily create on. Start up Kmenuedit and find KDE system Guard. Bottom right you should see:
"Current shortcut key: <none>"
Click on <none> and it will prompt you to choose your shortcut key. Don't forget to save before you quit.

Or you can use the commands
top - shows all processes
killall <program name> - kills all instances
kill <PID> - kills program
