In my case, it reboots the system :)

You can try pressing control-alt-Fn-backspace in your system (only when
you are not doing anything important!).

You can control that behaviour in /etc/inittab: mine reads, at some
point:

  # What to do when CTRL-ALT-DEL is pressed.
  ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now


Ciao,
