I don't agree that you're not suppose to power off your system. I agree
you shouldn't power it off without doing a clean shutdown first, but
once you've shutdown your system there's no reason it can't be powered off.

Unlike DOS, i understand you cannot just turn off the machine.
Hi Karen,
You're not supposed to power off the machine, but by default
the file systems now have journaling on and can recover well.
When my notebook hangs, I do power off, generally without
consequence.
Of course, proper shutdown is preferable, to tear down
services in an orderly way and ensure the file
system write all its buffers to disk. I use:
shutdown -h now
Best of luck (and hopefully enough preparation) that
everything goes well.
