Can anyone suggest a Linux Tutorial for beginners that works w/FC3?
I have worked thru several tutorials, but get to the point where I get
different results from my input. For Example:
"You can use virtual consoles to perform two activities in parallel. For
example, I used one virtual console to write this section and another to
test the commands as they were introduced. You can even use your mouse to
cut and paste text from one virtual console to another. When you start
your Linux system and get the log-in prompt, you're looking at console
number 1. Go ahead and log in as root here; then press alt-F2. You should
then see another log-in prompt. You can log in as user hermie on this
console and then press alt-F3 to access a third console or press alt-F1 to
return to the first console"
I logged in as root, (su -), then entered alt-F2, and got the "Run
Application" window
I am reasonably sure that every thing is in the correct case, and that I
have not made any other typos

to fix your specific example, try using Control-Alt-F1 , Control-Alt-F2,
etc. That'll let you switch between different virtual consoles. I
suspect Alt-F1 and Alt-F2 are being handled by your window manager.
For a really good general tutorial on FC3, try www.fedorafaq.org
Hope this helps.
