Installing Nexus manually is not a lot of fun. Thankfully a nice guy has created a working deb:

It also configures Apache2 as proxy for the nexus instance.

This is not a joke. It is possible to shut down your crashed linux box safely. It is possible to perform various low level commands regardless of the system’s state.

To perform such a command you have to press Alt + SysRq (Print) + a key representing the command.

To shutdown your box safely use the following combo:

1. Alt + SysRq + R – takes the keyboard out of raw mode.
2. Alt + SysRq + E – terminates all processes (except init).
3. Alt + SysRq + I – kills all processes (except init).
4. Alt + SysRq + S – synchronizes the disk.
5. Alt + SysRq + U – remounts all filesystems read-only.
6. Alt + SysRq + B – reboots the machine.
