This is some nice info...
So...
Linux is just the Kernal
GNU is the system
Redhat just puts its own brand on GNU and adds a few extra apps and calls it RedHat Linux...is that right.
And how come its called "Redhat Linux" and not "RedHat GNU" seen as the GNU is the part most people will be interacting with?
...or am I missing the point cos im a n00b.

ctrlaltdel
CTRLALTDEL(8) Linux Programmer's Manual 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.
