[PLUG] OT: Computer won't stop :-)

A friend just sent this to me:

Subject: computer won't stop?
From: Spam Eater <nospam@...>
Newsgroups: comp.os.linux.setup

I am a Linux newbie, please help me ...
I just installed Caldera Linux 2.3 on my computer, that is made up of the
following parts:
AMD K6-2 266,
64MG memory,
floppy disk, 2 GB Maxtor IDE drive,

When I ran Windows 95, everything ran normally. After about an hour, the
machine would stop and I would go to bed for the night.

But something's wrong with Linux, I think. It's been running for hours
now, and I'm getting tired. Why won't the machine stop so I can sleep?

I tried running Windows Explorer to stop it, because that works every time,
but I can't find Explorer on the disk anywhere?
