Can I use SAK on the console without Sysreq? I don't like the combo
Alt-Sysreq-K becouse K is next to L and Alt-Sysreq-L would kill the
machine ....
The second reason why I don't like the Sysreq solution is, that It's hard
to press the kombo (the WinNT like Ctrl-Alt-Del is _much_ easier to use).
IMHO Ctrl-Alt-Backspace would be good. Its easy to type and doesn't have
allready a function (except to kill X11 - which is basically SAK).
The third reason why I don't like the Sysreq solution is, that SAK should
be available regardless if Sysreq is enabled.
