rh7.0

[Jerry Feldman]

ctl-alt-backspace only kills the current session. If you want a text 
loging, ctl-alt-fn, where fn is the function keys 1-6. Xfree86 is still 
funning. ctl-alt-F7 should bring you back to the graphical login. You can 
configure Linux to bootinto multi-user text mode by editing the 
/etc/inittab file and set the fefault runlevel. I think Red Hat uses run 
level 5 for GUI and run level 3 for multi-user text only.
You can switch between your virtual terminals by doing alt-fn. You only 
need to ctrl-alt when leaving the XFree86.
