   {Using the Virtual Consoles}

   \begin{itemize}
      \item \textbf{Linux} has 12 \textbf{virtual consoles} by default
      (also called \textbf{virtual terminals}
      \begin{itemize}
         \item The first 6 are defined as login text
         consoles
         \item Console 1 is used by most distributions as the
         system console
         \item Graphical console is usually console 7, but some
         distributions (including \textbf{RHEL}) use console
         1.
      \end{itemize}
      \item Use \verb?Ctrl-Alt-FX? to switch between consoles
      \begin{itemize}
         \item Example: \verb?Ctrl-Alt-F5? goes to console 5.
      \end{itemize}
   \end{itemize}

\end{frame}

\cprotect\note{

   By default, \textbf{Linux} defines 12 virtual consoles
   to allow local access to the system.  The first 6 are
   usually login text consoles.  The seventh is usually
   the graphical console, if you have one.

   You can use \texttt{Ctrl-Alt-FX} (where \texttt{X} is
   the number of the console) to go between the console.
