What is the right way to turn off a computer running Red Hat? Do you just log out or is there more to it? Is that what 'halt' is?

halt to completely shutdown the system
reboot to reboot
shutdown -option time to do all of the above plus more.

If you're trying to shutdown your computer I would use one of the following:

A) halt
B) shutdown -h now
c) init 0 (that's init zero)

The above commands are similar to using the shutdown option in windows. ;)
