I'm curious; what is the difference between 'shutdown -r now' and 'reboot' ?
Blind leading blind......., i'll try.

Technically they are the same, both reset the system to power on status without the hassel of hardware power on, unless the tablet is frozen or in a twilight zone that cannot be brought back. I think the software reboot, which is equivalent to the "three finger salute" of the M$, CTRL-ALT-DEL, is actually missing from the power button menu, "Lock touch..., Offline mode, Lock Device, Switch off." I have added the little button on my screen and now I just click on it to have a reboot. I love it.


Oh, pls cast your vote on the power on/off pull, here, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=15129. Thanks,
