Hello
In windows, pressing control+ald+del you can watch the process and choose someoone and kill it.
In Linux typing I can watch the process, but I cannot kill them
Which is that the easiest way to kill some process???

Yes you can kill processes using top.
You can also use kill and killall.

Use the "k" key in top.
Read the man pages for top, kill, and killall.
ie man top, man kill, man killall.
--ET

Install and use htop.

top -k
top: unknown argument 'k'

Can you give me some example, because I tried and recived this.

Another quick way is: a) if already know the name of the process you want to kill (suppose gmplayer)
b) if you want a quick and dirty list of your (as user) processes:
then after selecting the PID of the process to kill from the list
Moreover you can check for a GUI application. I don't know in Debian, but just to make an example, in my opensuse box running KDE I have KSysGuard which list the processes in a way similar to top, but let me kill them just by pressing the KILL button.

Finally, if you want to kill a hanging graphical application you can open a terminal and type
press enter,focus the skull pointer onto the window you want to kill and click the mouse left button. A downside of this funny method is that the parent process, the one that forked the graphic app, doesn't die.

I installed this tools. This is very great tools. Thank you.

The hint by slacker_et was: press "k" when you already are in the top session. Top has a lot of interactive commands (see the manual page for details) "k" being one of them. Press k, then in the "PID to kill:" line near the newly appeared cursor type the PID of the process to kill and press enter.

Thank you colucix.
I tried your method and it worked for me.

Oo, that work for te too.
But I see is very dificult to move yourself in the top page...

You're welcome!
