Linux TTY and Terminal Commands

| Comments

A few notes for using the Linux TTY terminal.

Switch Terminals

You can switch TTY terminals by doing:

CNTRL+ALT+F#

F2 will take you to TTY2, F3 TTY3 etc.

If you are using a Linux GUI, you can still use this combo to switch to the console. To get back to the GUI do CNTRL+ALT+F7.

Scrolling

If you need to scroll up or town while at the console, do:

SHIFT+PG UP/DOWN
