shutdown -h now <hit enter>
or even easier:
halt <hit enter>
Maybe I'm just not used to the GUI mentality, but it always seems easier to me
to just type halt or shutdown -h now than to bring up a menu, click a button,
confirm, etc. Then again, I always have at least 3 xterms open, usually one
already with a root prompt up, and let's face it, how often do I shut my
computer off? :)
