If you’re used to doing “reboot now” on a Linux VPS, don’t do it here if you’re running Ubuntu 13.04!
It will lock you out and get you stuck - you’ll need to mess about with the virtual console to get back in.

Hey thanks…I ran into this a few times. I just logged into DG and chose the droplet and power cycled it. Thanks, I’ll remember to just “reboot”.
