neo is absolutely correct, while all linux distributions make their software available for FREE, when you can you should help contribute to the further development of the software you use. as for my self, i have become an avid fan of SuSE linux, they have come a long way from when i started using linux at their version 6.4, now at 8.2 their distro is 10x better. i would strongly reccomend SuSE linux if you are interested in linux. there are also many other options which have been listed on this thread. good luck, you will hopefully find a unix varient that is right for you.

ctrlaltdel
CTRLALTDEL(8) System Administration CTRLALTDEL(8)
NAME
ctrlaltdel - set the function of the Ctrl-Alt-Del combination
SYNOPSIS
ctrlaltdel hard|soft
DESCRIPTION
Based on examination of the linux/kernel/sys.c code, it is clear that there are two supported functions that the Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence can
perform: a hard reset, which immediately reboots the computer without calling sync(2) and without any other preparation; and a soft reset,
which sends the SIGINT (interrupt) signal to the init process (this is always the process with PID 1). If this option is used, the init(8)
program must support this feature. Since there are now several init(8) programs in the Linux community, please consult the documentation
for the version that you are currently using.
ctrlaltdel is usually used in the /etc/rc.local file.
OPTIONS
-V, --version
Output version information and exit.
-h, --help
Display help and exit.
FILES
/etc/rc.local
SEE ALSO
init(8)
AUTHOR
Peter Orbaek <poe@daimi.aau.dk>
AVAILABILITY
The ctrlaltdel command is part of the util-linux package and is available from Linux Kernel Archive <ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils
/util-linux/>.
