Some Basic Newbie Q's

[Chris Share <cpsmusic@labyrinth.net.au>]

Hi,

I have a couple of really basic newbie questions:

1. How do I logon as the root user? At present, when I start Linux I don't 
seem to get this option in the logon window.

2. How do I shutdown/restart the computer when logged on as a normal user?

Cheers,

Chris
