In the file /etc/inittab, you will find this around line 32:
# What to do when CTRL-ALT-DEL is pressed.
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now
Comment out the second line and nothing will happen when CTRL-ALT-DEL is
pressed. You can also change it into:
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/bin/echo "You are NOT using Windows..."
