more info in the sig, below: -- I use Debian/GNU Linux version 2.2; Linux server 2.2.17 #1 Sun Jun 25 09:24:41 EST 2000 i586 unknown DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #25 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Did you know you have MORE THAN ONE CONSOLE to use? There's six, by default: try Control-Alt-F6 to see console six, Ctl-Alt-F3 for console 3, and so forth. (If you don't use the X window display system, you don't need to include the control key. If you do have X running, you can return to it from any console via Alt-F7, unless you've changed the defaults.) Each console can have its own login, running its own jobs. Very handy!
