CTRL-ALT-F1 through F6 will give you different ttys. F7 will put you back at your X session (if you’re running X).

I didn’t know you could cycle through them with ALT and the arrow keys, though.

I actually did, found out ages ago when I had problems with X-sessions in warty. I handled it with lynx in one tty and the reconfigure in the other one (I was very new to all of this). Since then I always set up centerICQ and irssi, just in case. Thanks for reminding me I have not done it yet on this computer ^^

This is also when I discovered nano, which I use almost exclusively.
