pdflush process isn't what you think it is

Yeah. Please don't try to kill the pdflush process.

Having started as a Windows user, it would really, really irk me that a whole bunch of (unnecessary) processes would be running. I would annihilate them at every opportunity, but at least I'm (usually) smart enough to look up what it is first.

Having moved to linux, there's a whole new ballgame of processes to look up.
