My problem is this, I am running Fedora Core 3 and if I allow the computer to idle for a certain amount of time, usually the screen saver has kicked in, the computer shuts itself down.  My machine is a desktop so I would like to be able to allow the machine to stay on without having press the start button to get the machine up and running again.  Any suggestions would be great.

I think what you're looking for is under the screensaver utility under
preferences.  There's a tab called advanced.  Click on that, and on the
right is a section called Display Power Management.  Check the box in
that area, and you can set how many minutes the system will run before
it turns the monitor off, suspends Linux (like Windows' suspend
function) and shut it off completely.  That help?
