[Why do I have gettys running on tty1 through tty6? I only have 2 serial ports]
These are virtual consoles using your VGA card. Push LeftAlt-F2 on your console (I think it's Control-LeftAlt-F2 or Shift-LeftAlt-F2 if you are running X) and you will be on tty2. And so on for Alt-F3, through Alt-F6. You can set up some rediculous number (like 64) of virtual consoles and access them via various combinations of the left and right alt keys, shift, and the function keys. By default we only run getty on the first 6. Bruce
