Linux systems should always be rebooted or shut down using the appropriate commands, rather than simply turning off the power or hitting the reset button. If not, you may lose data on your local hard drives and will certainly have to wait through a lengthy filesystem check with fsck at boot time if using a non-journaling filesystem.
To reboot, simply do the following:
1. | At the bottom of the main page of the Bootup and Shutdown module, click the Reboot System button. This will take you to a page confirming if you really want to reboot. |
2. |
The process for shutting down is almost identical—just use the Shutdown System button at the bottom of the page instead.
