Mark, Ctl+Alt+Del does bring up shutdown options in Ubuntu.  If it did
not activate when you tried then you had a non-responsive keyboard.
This is sometimes noted by the flashing Num lock and Caps lock led.
Either way, same as windows, when the keyboard does not respond then you
are left with no option but to do a hard restart.  Also, if you want a
task manager equivalent System -> Administration -> System Monitor.
