if your system freezes you have a few options
you can try and fix it without restarting anything
ctrl-alt-f1-6 will switch to a terminal where you can use the following commads to close whatevers causing the problem

1. first youll have to login
2. then type top this give you a list of programs that are using the most resources
3. figure out which program to remove, press q
4. type killall “program-name”
(if you dont have permision you may need to type sudo killall “program-name”)
(if its a system process you may need sudo killall -9 “program-name”)
5.switch back to graphical interface by using ctrl-alt-f7
*if the system is seriously messed up you may need to use alt-print screen-r before ctrl-alt-f1 to get the system to respone

as for the more destructive options
ctrl-alt-backspace will restart your X
alt-print screen-k will restart the VT (to the end user this makes little difference as most programs will crash when x is restarted)
alt-print screen-b will restart your computer
*if the system is seriously messed up you may need to use alt-print screen-r to get the system to restart

i really liked your review as a recent Linux convert i agree with all your points, it would be good to point out that there are very few games for Linux especially not modern games

also DSL and puppy linux are more to save on HDD space and running from livePens not ram Xubuntu and light window manager based distros save on ram!

hmm well as i just noticed this post is 2 years old and your still in the ubuntu comunity ill assume you already know everything i said but it may be usefull for other readers
