And knowledge is a force:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_attention_key
Is Ctrl-Alt-Del a Trinity choice or a Debian kernel choice? I never
liked Ctrl-Alt-Del (in Windows) because I have been used to type that
for reboot. And it has a Windows taste.
I read here from Andrew Morton
http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SAK.txt
: "What key sequence should you use? Well, CTRL-ALT-DEL is used to reboot
the machine. CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE is magical to the X server. We'll
choose CTRL-ALT-PAUSE."
Seems to me to make sense (although I personaly don't use the login
screen on my private machines.
