I use all six, and wish there were twelve. I find it easier to
use different user accounts to access different mail boxes online, use
an admin account for system/root emails, etc. I use one account for
mailing lists, one for family, one for friends, one for spam, and love
the degrees of separation.
The GUI is pretty much crap, and unless I want to watch a
youtube video after downloading it with clive, I rarely use the piece of
junk at all. If I need it, I just run startx. Saves my system from
running yet another inaccessible program on the computer (qv: gdm). Ice
Weasel won't run many web pages as well as it does in Windows Firefox,
including my Linksys router's configuration page, so until Linux devises
a better way to implement GUI screen reading, I am forced to return to
Windows to access the web. Nothing in Linux compares, unfortunately, so
having all those VT's is a blessing.
