Also, since I`m a I`d like to work under X for the time being. I could write a script to start Xs each time I log to my account (I`ve doing similar scripts recently on classes), but is there a way, to fe. reboot or shutdown from within Xs? As far as I can see after closing session in Xs I get back to console mode and can shutdown then. Is it possible adn save to run shutdown while Xs are still running, and is there any way to do it in other way than by opening console and typing the command (I`m thinking of something like in windows, where you have buttons to do it for you). I realize that this is probalby the smallest problems after installing the system, but once again I want all to be as simple as it can be while I`m fresh meat at Linux
