Best Answer

The same as with pretty much any other Linux distribution available.

As root or superuser do one of the following:

To initiate an immediate reboot:

# /sbin/reboot

To shut down system and poweroff:

# /sbin/poweroff

To have the machine reboot itself in 37 minutes thus giving me time to log off and drive to my girlfriend's house before the reboot:

# echo "/sbin/reboot"|at now + 37 min

# exit

NOTE: The above assumes the atd daemon is running on the system of course.

The above lists only three (3) of the possible reboot techniques, root can improvise nearly as many other possible scenarios as the imagination is capable of producing. You could configure it to reboot whenever a specific user logs in, or reboot whenever a particular program is executed or reboot whenever some particular file is opened and so on nearly ad infinitum...

What is the order for downloading ubuntu?

Download the latest Ubuntu and burn the file as an iso. Change the boot order to make the CD drive first boot, rather than the hard-drive. With the iso disk in the CD drive, reboot the computer. Follow the instructions as they appear on the screen as Ubuntu is installed from the CD disk on to the computer's hard-drive. Once the install has finished, reboot the computer (after removing the ISO disc). Note: during the install procedure, you will be asked whether you want to add Ubuntu alongside the present operating system, or should Ubuntu use all the hard-drive, so wiping the original OS. If the latter is your choice, Ubuntu will become the only OS on the computer, so be sure to backup (remove to a safe place) any important files before starting the install.
