Thanx for the link. Looks a lot like Penny Arcade, but that 2nd strip in the archive was funny as hell...
No no no... Thumb on Ctrl, Index on Alt, pinky on Del.
:(
Unfortunately the right-side combo doesn't work under Linux 2.4.22, I have to use the left Ctrl/Alt to shutdown.
Yep, I just checked and you can have VMware send Ctrl-Alt-Del to the client session as well. Sounds like the grandparent poster is confuzed.
