It boots into a user account starts x11vnc, which I access using krdc. I mostly turn the system off over krdc, but I can also access it via ssh and turn it off. I want to be able to turn it off without having to start another computer. It's basically a music player for my kitchen, it runs amarok which also starts automatically. C -- C.
