Fix A Frozen Linux System With The Magic Sysrq Keys

dserban
You finally got your Linux environment to crash. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does nothing, nor do the F-keys. So you reach for the power button. STOP! Using the power button to reboot usually causes more problems than it solves. The Linux kernel includes a secret method of restarting your PC should it ever stop doing it’s job.

Interesting, when my system locks up, I just hit the reset button XD.

I guess that's not a good thing, yet my Linux environment never screws up since it's the X server that caused the crash when playing a game that hung the server.

dead is dead, that's all I have to know when an environement crashes. If it's a hardware lockup then even this trick won't help ... you only create a lot of signals that are going nowhere to be interpreted by nothing rolleyes.gif .

    interesting facts about the devious ways in which Microsoft is trying to derail Linux, most recently

    very user friendly and Windows-like. After reading through a bunch of message boards and learning
    which distros are good for what, I soon realized my current distro was great for Linux noobs. So
    then I decided to try something a little more advanced like Slackware which I knew had a steep
