The login terminals in Linux are virtual consoles. Most
Linux systems, including RHEL 6, are configured with six standard command line
virtual consoles. These consoles are numbered from 1 to 6. When configured with a
GUI and a login manager, other Linux distributions include a seventh virtual
console, with a graphical login screen.
That’s one place where RHEL 6 is a
bit different, as in most cases, it substitutes the graphical login screen for the
first virtual console. That applies just for the graphical login screen. If you start
the GUI with the startx command, the GUI is run in the seventh virtual console.
