RE: Shutdown Linux using computer's power off button

Hi all, In Windows XP there's an option to shutdown Windows "safely"
when the power button on my computer was pressed. Is there any way to do
this in Linux?

That's odd. I had no idea WIN XP did that. I don't think Linux could do
that because among other things, the discs are sync'd on shutdown by
unmounting them. (as i understand it, files are not always fully written
to the hdd when saved to save time, but everything is written to disc
when sync'd.

Could someone please elaborate how XP might do this?
