shutdown -h now <hit enter>

or even easier:

halt <hit enter>

Maybe I'm just not used to the GUI mentality, but it always seems easier to me 
to just type halt or shutdown -h now than to bring up a menu, click a button, 
confirm, etc.  Then again, I always have at least 3 xterms open, usually one 
already with a root prompt up, and let's face it, how often do I shut my 
computer off? :)
