So what is a Terminal, and what is a console? Someone help! ;)
A bit late, but an answer I haven't seen yet. [meaning of terminal and console cut]
From what I'm reading, you can pretty much call any Linux or UNIX machine a terminal or Console, as you're using the keyboard too human thing in the first part of this, or a cnosole, since you can run X on it then right?
First of all: please be nice to the rest of the list dwellers, and cut stuff that's not related to your questions/remarks (anymore). Yes, all systems are also [acting like] terminals if you login with them, even when you just connect to localhost. And when you use /dev/tty* to login as 'root' then that's the console. X has got nothing to do with this. Theo -- Theo v.
