From a gui, you can do Alt+Esc to bring up your Process Table and kill them that way. From commandline type: ps ax|grep <program name>, this will show you the program name(s) and pid number, then type: kill <number of program>.

If you're using Gnome it also has a "Control console" that gives you a list of running programs similar to the ctrl-alt-del list under windows and you can kill programs from there as well...
