but wait, you can decide - the article details link on how to do....



My issue, like all UNIX/Linux, Ubuntu is a multi-user environment..

CTRL+ALT+DEL initiates a process that has system wide effects.....

CTRL+ALT+Backspace affects the locally logged on user..

There have been a number of times where I've lost my X, but don't want
the machine booting..


again - another penny's worth.
