I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say. If you're looking for a shortcut to kill locked jobs, there's a cute little skull and crossbones link on your desktop that you can use to kill dead or stuck windows should that occur (rare). Otherwise, you can kill a job in console. To find a

A notebook PC is no different than a desktop PC. If you have enough hard drive space, RAM, and a powerful enough CPU (at least a Pentium), you can install Mandrake Linux on it. However, you should be aware that Mandrake might not have full support for your hardware. This is less of an issue

I came across this back when I was doing dialup with Slackware. I switched over to ADSL just before I started using Mandrake, so I am not sure if their help is terribly useful. It is from my old ISP. They claim that they don't support Linux, but maybe the documentation could help someone.
