I have noticed this in every linux OS I have tried. When I attempt to a reboot, it hangs and forces me to manually shut it off. I cant imagine that this is good for my netbook and was wondering if this can be changed. I have tried Mint 12 & 9, Ubuntu 11, and Xubuntu and they all do this.

We need more hardware information to help you, can you look at [this question](http://askubuntu.com/questions/14008/i-have-a-hardware-detection-problem-what-logs-do-i-need-to-look-into) and then edit your question adding the information. – fossfreedom Mar 10 '12 at 10:55

In order to find out why it is hanging you could remove the "quiet splash" flags from grub2. This should allow you to see where it jams.
Run
sudo nano -w /etc/default/grub
then change the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
Then save, and
sudo update-grub
Now when you boot/shutdown the splash screen will be gone and you'll get lots of info as to whats going on.
