hello Question: what are the default use assigned to the f1 through f7 consoles. i do understand that f7 is gui.i have foundhttp://wiki.debian.org/Consoleand at that address there is not a writ on f1 through f7 default assignments.i would assume f1 could be for admin purposes ?. i would just like to get it strait. and then contribute what i find to that wiki for any other neophytes.
I spend most of my time in those consoles. In /etc/inittab I have set up an extra one: f12, where I go to 'startx' (I don't use a DM)
In f1 I have mplayer running on the Dutch avro classical webchannel. F2 runs tail on syslog so I can see what is going on.F3 runs byobu set up in 4 screens: tail on logtool, tail on ulog, alsamixer and tail on kernlog.
F4 I run apt on. F5 has htop F6 runs ssh to a laptop. F7 is X. It all depends on what you are used to. Hugo
