Last Day - final test after "loaded optimal BIOS defaults":

first of all: YEESSS, they did all shutdown and power off without any hazzle! Hooorrrraaayy!!

what and hoe did i test:
starting at 9 a.m. i turned on all 7 PCs and logged in.
9:15 i shutdown the 1st and it did power off.
11:00 2 PCs had firefox running nearly 2 hours and then i shut them down and they did power off.
1 p.m 3 PCs had firefox and libreoffice running and then i shut them down and they did power off.
3 p.m. 1 PC had firefox and evince running and then i shut it down and they did power off.

so no matter how long they ran, it was possible to shut them down via GUI and they powered off.

This is what they also did with Ubuntu 8.04....
So something must have changed and it has to do with the BIOS settings and the kernel....
but i don#t know what exactly...

Hope you all have a nice day and i hope the PCs have learned their lessons ;-)
