If anyone can explain the difference between "halt" and "power off" in the
terms of Linux 'shutdown' man page, I would probably vote for one of the
choices.
Especially since the Debian (and Ubuntu) man page wording on -h confuse me. I
can't understand, how a choice would be "left up to the system".
