My desktop computer (an ancient Dell) won't power down properly. It goes through the whole shutdown process, but the power stays on. Worse, although I can hit the reset button to reboot, the power switch doesn't work! Apparently, it's not a real (physical) power switch, it just sends a signal to shut the power off, but Linux doesn't recognize this signal (or something like that; it worked with Windoze, so I'm just guessing here). If I want to power off, I have to actually pull the power plug! Fortunately, I don't power off very often (usually only during lightning storms or vacations), so I haven't bothered trying to fix it. -- Ron Hunter-Duvar ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine.
