Two ttys are enough for me. Many getty(8) processes usually : waste our process table entry :-) : : Usually small PC keyboards don't have their own F11/F12 key; key : combination such as Fn+F1/Fn+F2 is required (read: a little bit hard : to push). It would be better to avoid for the default configuration IMHO.
I agree. I think that more ttys is a bad idea, since each one takes more memory as well (since the data space isn't shared). While this is a small amount, it is a pain for lower memory systems. I usually run three ttys myself (imp + root + spare), but it is a matter of taste. Each time someone adds more of these goof things turned on it turns into mergemaster hell for me (since I gotta do the merge on about 25 machines).
