The two best options:

1 - the command line version:    shutdown -h now
	     for more info:   man shutdown

2 - Depending on your security settings in your graphical environment, 
if you use one, you should be able to shutdown from the log off menu, 
similar to WinNT/2k/XP.

You do need administrative privileges to shutdown. Enable them if you 
don't have them. They should be in the KDE panels, somewhere, if you 
use KDE (I don't.)
