[Rnb] Frozen Screen

[Roger Frisby]

Hi guys, I have had a couple of instances now where the screen freezes and I lose the arrow pointer. If it happened with XP i would press Control +Alt +Delete, but what do I do with linux.

I think it is happening when messing around with photo's. Not sure yet.

Thanks for your help. Roger

PS thanks to the help from Darren and Sam I have actually managed to download ubuntu 8.04 save it to disk and load a reasonably successful O.S.
There was 3 possible reasons why it did not work before. I should have saved to CD not DVD. I saved the program at too high a speed. I used nero to burn the disk but it might make a difference whether one burns as data or image (Whatever the latter is) Either way, any one of these 3 minor elements can be the difference between success and failure to a novice like myself. Thanks for your help guys.
