On one side, if you want to use many virtual terminals, then it means that you have enough skills to configure additionnal terminals.
On the other side, if you are a newbie, you will possibly never use a virtual terminal. Thus I think the default configuration should provide only 2 virtual terminals. With default configuration (except evolution removed) : --- j...@j-d:~$ ps ax|wc -l 123 j...@j-d:~$ --- If we delete 4 unused processes, we decreases the number of processes by 3%. Regards.
