These are common tasks when first beginning to use a Fedora system.
To log in to the graphical interface, type your username at the prompt and press Enter. Type your password at the next prompt and press Enter once more. Your default graphical environment loads on the screen.
To use another graphical environment, click Session menu on the login screen and select the environment from the drop-down list. Enter your username and password as normal.
There are three standard methods for accessing the command-line on a Fedora system:
Run the gnome-terminal application. From the Applications menu, choose System Tools->Terminal.
Log in to your system over the network with SSH.
Change virtual consoles.
Each of these facilities starts a new session that runs in addition to any graphical desktop sessions that you are using.
You can login to your system more than once by switching between the virtual consoles. There are four active virtual consoles that are command-line only. The graphical interface is configured as virtual console seven.
To switch to a different virtual console, press Ctrl-Alt and the Function key that matches the number of that console. For example, press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch to virtual console one, and press Ctrl-Alt-F7 to return to the graphical interface.
