1) Message boards : Number crunching : question about using boinc with linux (Message 3529) Posted 8 Sep 2004 by old_user313 Post: You should have multiple "virtual consoles". Try pressing Alt-F2 (left Alt key) after booting up and logging on, but before starting KDE. Different Linux distros implement different numbers of virtual consoles, but on the ones I use (Debian and Gentoo), I get 6 of them (Alt-F1 thru Alt-F6). After starting KDE, press the left Ctrl key in addition to the left Alt key and the Fn button to switch. Alt-F7 usually takes you back to KDE (or whatever else you are running on X).
