This may seem stupid, like I am stuck in windows, but is there a Ctrl Alt Delete equivelent in Linux? There is a game open and it sort of froze, whatever opened above it froze in the window, and I can move the window wherever with the stuff frozen in it. I tried closing and stuff and so I wondered if there was a way to force it to close? Thanks for any advice!

To kill a program:
ps -ef | grep <i>"program name"</i>(find the process number)
kill <i>process number</i>(end process)

To kill the computer:
init 6 (reboots)
init 0 (shuts down)
shutdown -y -g0 (shuts down gracefully)

Try right clicking on it and select the kill function.

Some day I'll be rich and famous for inventing a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet.

Ctrl-Alt-Del will often work in text mode, and in X you can use Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill the X server. In Gnome (RedHat default window manager) you can press Alt-F2 and type xkill, then click the window you want to kill.

Re-reading that, it all sounds very cryptic...
