	You can use shutdown as others have suggested, but frankly, the
simplest thing to do is to use Ctrl-Alt-Del and wait untill the shutdown
process is complete.  When you notice the hardware reset has occured
(screen clears and shows BIOS message and/or your monitor cycles on, off
and on again), then turn the machine off.  It only takes a few seconds
of waiting.
