It boots into a user account starts x11vnc, which I access using krdc. I  
mostly turn the system off over krdc, but I can also access it via ssh and 
turn it off.  I want to be able to turn it off without having to start 
another computer.  It's basically a music player for my kitchen, it runs 
amarok which also starts automatically.
