Some newbie questions

["Shea J. Hawes" <shawes@eou.edu>]

Hello,

I am new to Debian as of yesterday, and still fairly new to Linux in
general.  I have mostly been using RedHat so when I set up Debian
yesterday, there were some differences that are causing me some
difficulty.  Number one, I can not log in as root with gdm.  The screen
shakes and tells me to try again.  Once I find a console, it works
fine.  Number two, I have not found a reliable way to get out of gdm
when I want to shutdown.  RedHat just had the option from the menu in
gdm to shutdown.  I used a net install image to install Debian over an
ftp connection.  As far as I know this Woody.  Like I said, I'm new to
Debian so if I'm way off in left field, please be gentle.

Thanks,

Shea
