pooh. four minutes? hell, i've posted questions that haven't got
answered for nearly an hour. four minutes ain't no record.
heck, microso~1 can take DAYS before telling you that you're not
allowed to access that information, or to provide you with
technically correct but completely irrelevant information, or to
tell you that broekn behavior is by design.
oh, you're gawking at the other end of the spectrum... :)
i once got an answer that predated my question, but temporal
displacement notwithstanding, it was attributable to borked

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #25 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com>
:
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.) Each console
can have its own login, running its own jobs. Very handy!
